Call.

I'm not itching to throw my money at a guy who just sat down, plus I want to see what he's going to do on the turn.

A check-miniraise? I think I just call. That's a really strange line, especially as the BB in your first hand, I think he's got something here. If we're not already beat, he's got good draws and will probably call a push

I vote call:

What will an unknown have most of the time? Thats hard to say because he is an unknown, I think more often than not we are behind. I say this because players at these levels will often try this with two pair(which is very possible, villain could have played 56,54,or 64) or a set. And a smaller percentage of the time he might be drawing also and an even smaller percentage of the time villain is doing this with air.(These assumptions are a based on common traits without reads on what I have learned from the forums and from the playing I have done)


Given that I would call because if I hit a 3 or an 8 villain will give me his stack a vast majority of the time.
