    Probably limp or fold preflop. If you are going to raise preflop, raise at least 4xbb.

    Check turn because straight could easily be out there......

    (disclaimer: I am pretty crap, only playing 2nl at the moment)

    bodog had a bet pot button, when you raise preflop just use that instead of minraising. You obviously playing with people who will cal you down light and chase with no odds, so instead of trying to get tricky your best bet is to bet it 3/4pot instead of possibly giving a free card to any straight or a flush draw. At 10nl dont get tricky, just play it straightforward and you will save a lot of headache.

    firstly well done for joining i'm seeing the benifits already

    pf you MUST NEVER min raise like this pf against these kinds of players especially out of pos. it achieves nothing-they will always call it and it means nothing to them. its just risking unneccessary money. Raise 3-4x or fold

    i would bet the flop 3-way against careless players: tp 10 is extremely vulnerable on later streets. Also it makes them overpay to see more cards-the application of real pot/implied odds is non existent to many players at 10nl

    turn i see little reason to slow down especially with the spade draw still out-bet again: $2.60??? if he hit a straight you'll soon find out-unlucky if he did

    also 'play it straightforward' is probably the best advice at this level- betting your good hands well and not trying to be too smart against monkey equivalents will see you through good. its boring but then you can move up

    Yes I know i shouldn't be minraising pf ever. I guess these guys were both just starting to get annoying and had finally suckered me into their bs donkey game.

    Maybe I was wrong to crai and should have just led pot but my intention was to take it on the flop as well as make them pay a little bit more if they are drawing and I was 99% sure one of the two would lead out....

    AAcrackedKK: bets $3.55
    Tzesar: raises $3.55 to $7.10

    Ok, honestly I felt no different about my hand on the turn then I did on the flop. I believe the pot was around $5.50 and I didn't like the idea of giving any free cards now that the board looks pretty coordinated and fuck... god damn turn min raise... now what do I do? should I be able to get away here when I've already invested over half my stack?

    even after his min raise, a lot of the time you will find 0.10NL players (generally complete asses) turn over their cards and have an over-valued 1/2 pair: ok so you'll run into bigger hands a fair amount of the time, but when virtually too deep into the pot to pull out i would rarely fold this
    unless of course you have concluded he is a reasonable player from previous action

    Dont minraise preflop, either make a proper raise or fold, as played raising the original limpers pussy bet is fine, as we have him beat most of the time and its also highly unlikely the preflop min 3 better has anything either due to him just calling the flop bet rather than raising. once you turn top 2 pair get that money the hell in, doing anything but getting the money in on the turn would be uber bad.

    One question tho, if I'm villian here, is it worth it for me calling the flop given the same action knowing hero is likely to stack off here?

    I always love when they minraise and leave like 30 cents behind

    hand is fine except for PF
