To continue in a similar vein the abhorrent part of the post is not the results it's the lack of reads.
Against an unknown I think it's a fold, even at 5nl. I have stacked off way too light recently with an overpair or TPTK so this is pretty present to me also.
The question is not whether it's a fold though. The question is whether you know your villain well enough to say with authority that it is +EV to call. If you don't know his playing tendencies you have to give him credit. If he's an aggro monkey go ahead and snap call.
One thing I tend to do too much right now is call too much when I don't know where I stand. In the best case, it's a close decision and if it's a close decision the EV between calling and folding is not significantly different so there's no harm in taking the variance reducing fold and not go on tilt. There are many rules of thumb that apply to this kind of of situation. There's the one about raises on turns normally signifying monsters, there's when in doubt fold and right now I'm finding more usefulness in this one: Do not put money in the middle if I cannot clearly argue why it is +EV to do so.
