LOL. Implied odds be damned, I'm a 4-1 dog and only getting 3-1 odds. Weaksauce, right? So then yesterday I go the other way with it:

A little better, I suppose. The pot is smallish though, and I'm probably flipping (or worse) in most cases if called. Perhaps it would be better to reraise to like $11 or so. That makes the turn difficult though. If villain calls, then shoves a blank turn, I'm finished. Even if he just 1/2 pots it, I can't push back, as I have almost 0 fold equity. If he calls, then checks a blank turn, I could push, but now I have less equity and the pot size gives me less fold equity, so I wonder if this situation is any better than my original line. Perhaps taking a free card and c/f if I miss is the better option?

No reads in either hand, btw.
