It depends on like 90 million things.

For example, have you seen villain be aggressive with his draws?

no reads, just sat down...jus wondering if a laydown like this isgenerally correct?

I would lay it down. You are often way ahead/way behind and most likely the latter. Reads help though

I agree that in general it's likely a fold here.

i would raise to at least .40cents preflop, and bet .6-.7 cents postflop, against an unknown id fold too but some people might be paranoid about u stealing his/her blind so i duno..

...but it was the button who was playing, not the blinds...

good point, overlooked that one =P, but id still raise more pre and post flop.

I was in almost that exact situation today at 10NL. The guy was like 40/5 with high flop aggression so I called. Turn check/check, river he threw out a 1/3 pot bet, I call, he mucks.

To repeat what spoon said, this one is highly dependent on the villain here. I had been raising a bunch before this, so I guess my villain didn't take my flop bet seriously and thought he could push me out. I considered that as a possibility when calling. At the same time though if he'd been really aggressive on the turn I woulda folded.

I don't lay it down here. Could be just about anything at these limits.
