Question: Would u call the flop? As played, fold turn?
Disagree, obviously. Unless villain is a known maniac (if he does this kind of thing more than very infrequently, he is), the flop is an easy fold as TPTK is almost never good there.
If however he is a maniac, you probably are good and just letting him dump his stack will likely get you the most value.
Well without a read this is certainly not a nice situation, but TPTK on these Limits is really quite often a good hand even against such an Overbet.
He could very well do this with KQ or even worse Kings.
You are not doing a big mistake by folding here, obviously, as the pot is really small and not worth fighting big about it.
But you could though lose a lot value against a known bad player.
Like howard pointed out, against unknown you can fold this (reduces Variance a lot also!!) and against a know weak player you can Call the flop and call the turn.
Raising the flop might get him to fold a weaker Hand, which we don't really like.
A draw is not that likely for our opponent, so protecting is not really necessary.
