No stats on villain, he just sat down at table. Am I ever ahead here? I just feel like stupid folding here with top pair, but I don't feel like I'm ever winning.

I'm getting 4:1 to call, but I could be drawing dead, and my Q could complete a straight draw. What do you do here?

I might call, but usually fold vs good opponents. b/f turn is standard line.

How would you feel if he c/r to ~$35-50? He is most likely betting that river, so when you call that 9, you are actually calling a lot more if you intend to see a SD.

On this dry board, doesn't checking have it's merits?

The voyage to valuetown isn't made by checking behind top pairs 2nd kickers.

QFT.

Fold to the lame minraise and keep an eye on him for future information. Your hand has no where to go and you're going to be in for a PITA decision on the river.
