this is a pretty easy fold, no? should i let it go to his flop raise? i have no stats on villain, nor do i have a table image, as i have been at this table for maybe three hands.

Wrong forum.

Don't post in MP1.

I fold to the c/r on the flop.

I suck at NL, but damn, what are you doing calling that flop raise?

oooooooooops

sorry about the misplaced forum... if a mod wants to move this post, i'd be grateful

DO. NOT. POST. OUT. OF. THE. BLINDS. Ever.

I'm checking flop -- you're not going to get everyone to fold and overcards will hit that will make you have to toss your hand to any resistance, so don't give money away. Fold to SB raise. Fold on turn.

Don't post out of position. Hell, fold this PF even with the blind put in.

I fold at every opportunity here. 5J is not a hand I want to build any kind of a pot with, just about ever. I check/call maybe once, but even that might be thin.
