Like I said it depends on the player but in most cases, I probably fold here and wait. Against a looser, stealing player, I'll play back.

I don't really love calling, but without any reads I just think folding is giving the guy way too much respect for raising in the cutoff after everyone else folded to him and raising is just asking for a coinflip or worse. I guess I'm too worried about the hand itself, rather than the overall situation in the tournament.
