No way I fold preflop.
I would then checkraise any flop that hit me in any way (including this one)
And to reiterate, you will only win with a checkraise against bad players.
A good player with trip deusces would lead this river to avoid the chance it gets checked through. |
I can see arguments for both folding and calling. For folding, this guy is an unknown and unlikely to be stealing and you are at best a 60/40 underdog if not worse. The pot is small, you have no reason to get involved in a statistically weak-tight full ring game. Shorthanded is a different story...
Calling preflop would probably be break-even at best, maybe slightly profitable if you know how to play post flop. I dont think silverfist IMHO can play this that well OOP facing an unknown preflop raiser. However, had I called, I would have check/raised this flop and gone from there. After he raised for his free card he's got a couple overcards, maybe even a small pocket pair, and depending on his read I say he more likely calls than folds at this level. You have to be good here 25% of the time, and without a read I would just give it up and wait for another opportunity.
