I sat down at a new $0.20/$0.40 8-game table because the existing were all full. Another guy sat down and we started. He bought in for $2 while I put down the full $10.

I raised from the button with a great starting draw and get called. Obviously I don't have a read on the guy since it's the first hand. I'm ~52% to make an 8 over the next 2 draws so depending on how strong he really is that could be enough. He could be raising here with alot given that he drew 3 then check-raised. I'm not considering folding here, not yet anyway, but should I play back with a 3-bet or take the safe route and just call?
