    No, at that point you cant fold. Call the 150 and take a look.

    I guess that's the only response I could expect. This thread is stupid.

    Yep. Have to make that call all day long. Only have to have the best hand one time out of 16 in that spot to have a positive expectation. Sometimes players will also make blocking bets that look like value bets. This is where they are first to act and they aren't sure they have the best hand, but they don't want to have to call a large bet or possible bluff by a player in position on the river. So they put in a smallish bet hoping that you will just call (or maybe even fold) so they can get a cheap showdown.

    I would fold, but I have that cheat where I see hole cards, so it's easier for me.

    Although maybe folding here would raise some suspicion???
    "You have it in your power to turn a bad-beat around simply by realizing this simple truth: The more bad beats you encounter, the luckier you are. It's a sign that you are playing against opponents who continually take the worst of it, and if you can't beat someone who always takes the worst of it, you can't beat anyone"

    Get me at the tables...
