Good discussion
Cool thread - I always appreciate threads that actually center around thinking/strategy.
As for pshabi's point, this might be the biggest difference between a full ring game and shorthanded. In my experience, even at a loose 2/4 tables, unless the player is a maniac, he's not going to three bet pre-flop with a low pair.
I'm not necessarily going to fold, but check calling makes much more sense here. If he has the inferior hand, I'll let him build the pot. If I do, I'm OK with checking it down. If I bet and he raises, I'm forced to likely throw good money after bad if I want to stay in.
I knew there was a great post on this and I went back and looked it up ... TP speaks the truth
This all said, I know I err on the side of being to tight/weak when I should probably be more tight aggressive.
