What do you usually do when your TPTK flop bet gets raised on a dry board by an unkown? I have no read, and was new to the table. Please comment on my line vs alternatives like what I wrote in parentheses.
The hardest decision was calling the flop raise since he played the rest passively. With his flop raise I amWA/WB since it could be a lower pair or air testing if I'm c-betting, or it could be a set, OESD, or oddly played AA/KK.
