I like 250-275 preflop at 50/100 blinds, keeps the pot a bit smaller.

As played, I call too. Usually this kind of flop overbet (putting you AI) is a hand that doesn't want a call like a draw or Jx. If he has something that beats us, I pay him.

OK, I'll start raising less pre at that level.

What is your read on your opp? Do you respect him or do you think he is likely to make silly moves? If you have some respect I think it is a fold. If he is a bad player, and A rag is in his calling range pre flop, I think you can call.

In the Moshman book there is a place where it is said that you gotta know the main purpose of your bets. Pre flop do you consider your bet as a steal raise or as a value raise mainly? If you consider it as a steal raise mainly, it can help your decision to fold.

It is a very much read dependent decision imo.
