BB (t11342)
UTG (t4489)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with 5d 5h

4 folds, Hero raises to t600, 3 folds, BB calls t400.

No reads on this guy. Is this an easy fold?

Looking at the BB stack, I think this is a situation where shoving all in after his bet wouldn't be a terrible play. I think there is enough in the pot and enough fold equity to make a move here. I think you need some sort of read to make this move however. Has he done this 'donk bet' before? Has he shown a willingness to fold with a mediocre holding?

That being said, the safe play (and the correct one without a read) would be to just fold. Not very sexy, but you have plenty of chips to wait for a better spot.

I fold though this could be a stop and go play. Wait for a better spot imo

Heads up in position with no reads... I'd dump it. The raise from the hijack isn't bad, especially with a small pair, and a call's fine from the blinds, but once we flop two overs with a two flush and he leads out, we're done. If he had checked, we definitely could lead out here for about the same as villain did.

Pump it or dump it, depending entirely on reads. No reads available so I dump this.

Thanks guys. I ended up folding it. Villian did not show.

I eventually made it to the Final Table, besting a rediculous field of 4333, and chopped it 4 ways for a $900, my biggest cash ever. Thanks Full Contact Poker.
