This was a very unusual situation for me. I rarely find myself against this type of player and, when I do, I'm rarely running as badly as I was when this guy appeared. If I was running well and playing with confidence. I would see the flop and then walk away from the hand. It's marginal at best.
I wrote about it because of its unusualness rather than its typicality. It was actually a mathematical question rather than one of "do you call in this kind of situation with bottom pair, top kicker, with players behind and a probable gutshot (at least) out there?" The reason the situation is unusual is that it's almost unheard of for me to check-call-it-down in this kind of situation. I just happened to do so here because I was playing badly at the time.
However, it served to raise an interesting point on how you can play "random card players" and what hands you should rate, and which ones you shouldn't.
