I was debating just a call, but i tried to get fancy and min raise him. i was hoping he would put me on a bluff, and go over the top. should i have just called, and hope he bets into me on the turn? or do you guys like a bigger re-raise?PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)BB ($52.75)UTG ($21.40)UTG+1 ($27.90)MP1 ($50)MP2 ($49.65)MP3 ($11.20)Hero ($50)Button ($61.55)SB ($56.40)Preflop: Hero is CO with 4, 4.

I love it when people fold to min re-raisesErm, i know a lot of people don't like min anything on here but i don't see whats that wrong with it tbh, gets more money in the pot while making it hard for your opponent to fold(and also pissing him off because everyone hates min raises).

You can't get action where there isn't any.However, you should bet more like $4 on the flop. That is a pretty drawy board.It seems to me like he raised it up with a hand like AK, missed and decided to try a check raise, then insta-mucked when you played back at him.

It is a draw heavy board but not against a pf raisers range. Only worry is clubs. I prefer the $2 bet over a check or $4 bet. When he raises I don't hesitate to call behind and lead most cards and check if board pairs.

Well, there was action. Villain actually RAISED our bet. I think a smooth call on the flop gets us more in the long run. I realize there are draws there, but we have redraws.But with this particular PF action, I'm not folding this unless 4 to a flush hits the river on an unpaired board.

I like and hate this play for different reasons.1. It looks like you figured you had the best hand and you intentionally made a bet that you thought he'd raise so that you could reraise him. That's good higher level poker.2. Your reraise is horrible becuase if he shoves, you really should be folding and you've cost yourself a shot to make the best hand. Also, make a raise that he will fold to more often.Overall this is ok. When he raises to $7, I think you should raise him back to about $20ish and then you can call a shove and it's a normal raise interval. I just don't like the min reraise here unless you knew that it was likely that he'd fold to it.

I'm never folding this. Did you misread the board? The hero has middle set. The PFR has an overpair a lot more than a straight.

I did misread the board. I thought the hero had the small pair+OESD.Ok, I still like the inducement bet, but now raise to something like $17 or $18, not a minraise please.

Yah. Like ... let's get it in Mr. Villain.

thanks for the input guys. yea, im definitely never folding. i guess the min raise was ill advised. so we all agree a raise to roughly $20 is the correct play on the flop?

I think most of us want to call the flop raise. I think call the flop raise, raise if he lead the turn unless the board pairs.

I like to keep going hard at this flop because I don't want a scary turn card to kill my action.
