3rd hand at the table so no reads. Its easily possible that I have the current best hand but raising here seems to be spewing money as the whole deck is a scare card. Calling doesn't accomplish much so who raises, who folds and why? Can you make a case for calling that i'm missing given no reads? (otherwise i do see merit to calling, hoping to get heads up and a draw card hits that you bluff if checked to.)

I would be tempted to peel, since there are so many draws you can represent. However, you'll give great odds to the three other players in the hand, who may actually have the draws. So, if it were a HU pot I'd call, but now I fold. Raising this seems overaggressive.

With reads, I'd call in a heartbeat. Without reads, I've called way too much in this situation, and it easily leads to trouble.

I think just laying it down is the best play until you have a handle on the player in question. That board is just too scary to be messing around with top 2.

I did lay it down, the blinds both called. turn was and it checked to same guy who bet about 1/4 pot and sb called, bb folded.. river was another 2, sb bet pot and he folded.
