    I agree, and I stated a number of reasons: TPTK, NFD, no notes on this villain, and a weak line that almost always will mean next time what it means this time.

    @ Icanhastreebet: I grant you that I was being hyperbolic when I threw in the "complete retard" part. A POB, again, usually indicates weak and scared, and hoping to take it down with little risk (enough reason to raise regardless of my cards if it's the right read). The bet is so small that w/o a specific read that says Villain does this with strong made hands, a ton of hands are priced in to call.

    On the turn here, w/ almost 6:1 pot odds, we're priced in to call if we are behind, but have 7 clean outs. With TPTK and 9 clean outs (the only spade that pairs the board is in our hand), this is a fun spot to punish the POB with a pot-sized raise.
