In an unraised pot I'm really not liking my hand too much against the SB's line here. I play it the same.

Speaking of unraised pots, what the hell does "Don't lose all your money in an unraised pot" mean?

You need a stronger hand to bet the ranch in an unraised pot because of the amount of money behind and wide range of hands you're likely up against. How strong depends on your opponents.

If he bets pot or more on the river, you should seriously consider a fold.

Any reads on the player? My immediate thoughts were 5 w/ better kicker and 3s, but that's assuming he's a good player.

I think Ax is likely (more likely even, given card distribution) as well if neither of those are accurate - probably either A2 or A4.
I run a training site...

No read, no. When I don't have a read I usually assume the player is pretty bad at these limits and it's usually correct.
