I'm new to this...so maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I would play such a hand. If I'm not raising, I'm definitely folding. Calling wouldn't be an option.
What hands in his range are folding to the flop raise? We bet
(raise) for bluffs and for value. You're saying raise to fold out the second pair hands and keep in all the ones that beat us. Is his range mostly air/2ndpair/crap or hands that beat us? A raise turns our hand into a -ev bluff.
Ich grolle nicht...
