Ok villain is pretty dormant not playing hardly any pots. Has been min raising his BTN a little. Now this happens. Ok so I'm not going to fold this to someone who is clearly awful. So who calls this and who folds?

3 folds, BTN raises to $4.93 all in, 1 fold, Hero ???

Although I have no idea what dormant means I would call this too most of the time

How many hands do you have on him? If he is very nity and plays very few hands over a largeish sample I'll probably fold and wait for a better spot seeing as you have no money invested in the pot.

Whats wrong with folding here? There is nothing invested and I don't see how we could be way ahead.

Don't mind calling or folding or raising.

Raising sounds as the correct answer

OK so imagine the villain is 20/18 over a reasonable sample what sort of range of hands would we have to have to call this? Are we talking TT+, AQ+?

Reads are important here. Sometime you can clearly see people on tilt or open shoving a lot of hands. Then I am snap calling. But since there are no reads I am folding this. Did you know that there are people who say that they can make money at micro stakes by folding all and open shoving KK,AA and pretty much folding else.

I am not interested in doing flips against AK,AQ, because I have to pay rake for the huge pot anyway.
