PRO ANSWER: After calling our raise preflop, our opponent led into us on the flop with bet sizing of less than one-third of the pot. If our opponent had checked, we would have made a continuation bet.
Given the relatively small size of the big blind's bet, we can create a good risk-reward ratio on a continuation raise.
