Was I too weak?

[GaF]

I'm interested in views here - especially from the more established cash game players. In a tourney, I'd probably have gambled (depending on what stage we were at!!), however I'm becoming a bit more risk averse in cash games, where I'm struggling again (after some hope expressed in another thread yeaterday!!)

What do I know about my opponent? Well I had quite a bit of history on him - Poker Tracker had seen 468 hands that he played. He had voluntarily added money to the pot on 29.7% of these hands. His Post Flop aggression factor is 1.37 which is not that high and doesn't account for the aggression he showed here. He'd hit something!! His category is "Vanilla/ABC" - that is

Very slightly loose, neutral, neutral. Vanilla/ABC This is a solid strategy at low stake NL tables. They tend to play more or less ABC poker, though some of the better ones may be capable of deceptive play. Their drop out rate is low, although they become slightly less effective as the hand count climbs, perhaps as they often aren’t too hard for the rest of the table to read. As they are winning players I prefer not to have them on my table although one or two isn’t going to put me off. Left or right of me doesn’t make much difference.

Worth also adding that over the 468 hands I've seen, he is a losing player, a net $24.78 down. Obviously there is a lot more info available on him to me in Poker Tracker, but the information above was all I had to make my decision within the time allowed.

Re: Was I too weak? Tough one GaF. I'd have folded too - possibly he had a straight or flopped 2 pair. Don't think you had put enough into the pot that it was worth the gamble. A raise after a raise is not usually a bluff. Interested as you to see what the "pro's" think.
