MP was 50/0/9 -- calling a lot of raises pf.
SB was 20/2/0.6 -- hadn't 3b yet in a small sample.

Full Tilt Poker $0.25/$0.50 No Limit Hold'em - 5 players

SB: $57.10
BB: $12.35
Hero (UTG): $63.55
CO: $21.15
BTN: $62.65

Pre Flop: ($0.75) Hero is UTG with A

Hero raises to $1.50, CO calls $1.50, 1 fold, SB raises to $6.50, 1 fold, Hero?

against a 20/2/0.6 though? i opened utg and he's never bluffing b/c he can't be confident mp will fold

he seems pretty passive, but if its a small sample I probably 4b/c. I think folding isnt making a big mistake though

I think folding and waiting for a better spot is much better than jamming readless and "on to the next one." He raised an UTG open so if he's half decent he doesn't have garbage here. You're probably against a pp, flipping at the best and crushed at the worst imo.

If there's no reads give him the benefit of the doubt and wait for a better spot. Assuming he's half decent is better than assuming hes terrible and flipping for stacks

I think we can fold here based on 2% PFR unless sample is really small; 2% is like QQ+/AKs.
