    Default Call or raise?

    The flop looked perfect to just call but should i protect my hand or not?

    I pop it up to $4 but Renton will say otherwise (j/k Renton )

    Call.

    This looks like a weak c-bet from the PFR and shortie is probably too stupid to figure out that you're strong. Hope a big fat broadway hits on the turn.

    You might consider raising because the PFR is UTG. Or use position and call every street if Villain's range is tight. Not a lot you can do wrong here.

    no broadway straight draws and no flush draws, so you dont have to protect your hand here.
