Fist off, rebuy upto the full amount. anyways...

Do a weak massage raise, feelilng him out, but one that also looks like you want a call, about $5 or so. Something that you can release if he raises, and check/fold the turn if he calls. Granted, some arent goign to like this, but I like finding out where peple are at.

Of course, the sensible option is to fold.

i might have put in a bigger raise preflop but after the flop im defintly run scared like a little girl

A couple of days ago I was in an early position -loose and somewhat passive table - and got a Q-T unsuited. 3 other plus the BB limped in behind me.

The flop was K-Q-T
BB checked, I checked, Mid1 bets, late1 calls,Late2 folds, BB folds, I raise, Mid1 re-raises, Late1 folds, I call.

Turn = Q - I have a full house
I check, Mid1 bets, I re-raise, Mid1 calls (not folds - calls)

River = Q - I now have quads
I bet and we cap the bets;

Showdown - I have 4Q-K and Mid1 has 2K-3Q (and a T left in the hole)

Moral - you ain't beat until your beat. On the flop I asked myself "Am I beat?" and the answer was 'maybe' as Mid1 was not an overly aggressive player nor one to overrate his hands. A str8 was possible but Mid1 would usually pf raise with A-J, A-Q or A-K to thin the field behind him. The K was an overcard and although I had two pair and I couldn't be sure Mid1 wouldn't just limp in with K-Q or K-J or K-T instead of raising. J-9? maybe if suited!
On the Turn, Mid1 probably asked the same question and also got a 'maybe' so called instead of folding!
Using the fold advice given, I should have also folded on the flop 'just in case' I was beat and save myself an extra bet. I didn't need the river card on this hand and likely wouldn't have seen it if the Turn card and betting was negitive but the point is, for one more bet I am rewarded but WITH A FLOP FOLD, I BEAT MYSELF!
With pocket rockets vs opps who limp in and a board 9-K-K, I want to feel out the others and at least/hopefully see the Turn. Don't forget it was the BB who bet out (which I see all the time when a board flops a pair) and gage that bet as a caution flag and not terms for unconditional surrender!
Maybe in the longrun I lose several small bets but at least I'll also have several otherwise 'lost pots' to console myself with as a morn just how wrong my thinking is. :rockpoker

Raise to $5.55 on the flop.

Playing limit, though, you can usually get away with calling him down. If it was NL, and he threw a huge raise at you on the flop, what do you do?
