So you don't consider a call valuable information, then? I was thinking that it was...I mean, it's not a fold, and not a raise. I'd say he is telling you he has a so-so hand or a draw in most cases...doesn't that help to narrow his range quite bit?
In my mind, if you look at the long run, the number of times villain(s) fold, and the number of times they raise (potentially saving you money on later streets) would make it (again, over time) better to be the aggressor.
Obviously in position is a lot different...but I think it was Gus Hanson who wrote in one of his books (I've read so many books that I lose track) that when OOP you have to find ways to reduce the positional disadvantage...
