I think I mention something about it being a reverse equity spot. It's basically a spot on the flop where you may consider yourself to be slightly ahead at that point in the hand (in terms of raw ranges), but if you are ahead you're only slightly ahead, and if you're behind then you're crushed. (Slightly ahead, way behind). In addition, with cards to come on the turn and river, there is a danger that VS someone good (not even good these days, just standard) they'll be cbetting the flop with their bluffs, then barreling the turn and/or river when broadways come, forcing us to fold, so we don't EVEN always get to see showdown the times that we are ahead.
To avoid decimating your red line, fold the flop in these spots. OR, soul read him if you must and call all three streets. Probably not the latter without a sick read..... just don't call flop, call turn, fold river. HORRIBLE.
