I'm new to NL cash game, so take it with a grain of salt, but I'd bet more on the flop and lead the turn. As played, I'd raise the turn bet (you're not expecting AA, KK, AK here).

But it sounds like you're really questioning the river. What exactly are you ahead of that leads the turn, min raises the river, and will call your all in? AJ? As played, I'd call the river minraise and would not go all in over the top.

Of course, I'm probably too nitty. Let's see what the better players have to say.

1) use a converter
2) don't show results
3) bet 30c on the flop unless you think people show up with Ax a lot and call down happily. Then 50c
4) Just bet turn. If you think he's betting any Ax then c/r at least.
5) Reasoning for donking?

Ultimately this is pretty close to a cooler and probably suited for TILT, except that you didn't play well at all.

Raising PF would make this easier.

People who minraise are either nuts or have the nuts.

I'm getting all the chips I can in this pot as quick as I can. Raise pre and bet as much and as often as villain will let you on the flop.

Don't post results - you want "unbiased" advice, not results-oriented advice. We can all "read hands" if they're printed right in front of us. :P
