Villain is unknown. Do pot odds dictate a call, or was this laydown good?

I think this is a gf.

had he made a 2/3pot bet or larger I wouldnt mind this fold. But for a less than half pot bet I really think we are getting the odds to call this.

I do think its going to be pretty marginal either way against an unknown.

i'd call this without a very good read i think

Care to explain?

I call this for $20

It just looks like a value bet. I don't think we are good enough of the time obviously.

I think villain is value betting a worse hand a lot of the time.

Like what? KT is the only plausible hand that springs to mind. Kx/Ax just doesn't play the hand this way--Flat calling two streets OOP and then making a very callable value bet on the river with TPWK? I don't think so. I'm going with Occam's razor here, and that says "This is a flush and you need to fold."

Btw, I'd just sat down. If I'd been at the table for an hour and had pissed everyone off with my 30/25 play, then this would be an easy call.
