    Default top two pairs, value bet or check call?

    ok, I know bet-sizing is far from standard - I've been experimenting with min-raises and messing with table dynamics. Forgive me.
    Villain is 35-10 or something, pretty passive post-flop and prone to slow-playing, suited me earlier when he flat-called my QQ raise pre-flop with AA and then pushed over on the 88Q flop. River is what I'm really interested in, villain's line had me concerned - I'm thinking AQ, TJ, 88 or 99. Given villain's stack size vs the pot I gotta pretty much push for value - should I? thoughts on calling villain if he bets?

    Prima Network No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (5 handed)

    Button ($2.77)
    SB ($6.80)
    Hero ($22.42)
    UTG ($10.45)
    MP ($12.16)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with [9c], [Ac].
    UTG calls $0.10, MP raises to $0.2, 1 fold, SB calls $0.15, Hero calls $0.10, UTG calls $0.10.

    Flop: ($0.80) [9s], [8d], [Ad] (4 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $0.8, UTG folds, MP raises to $1.6, SB folds, Hero raises to $2.4, MP calls $0.80.

    Turn: ($5.60) [2d] (2 players)
    Hero bets $2.8, MP calls $2.80.

    River: ($11.20) [3h] (2 players)
    Hero checks

    Final Pot: $11.20

    ya just put the rest in. what were your thoughts when 3betting the flop? also, forgive me if this sounds rude but don't you have like a massive bankroll to still be playing 10nl?
    Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.

    still exploring the min-raise dream!! I'm interested in how players react to abnormal lines, I would have called any push and shoved a 4-bet. The call got me nervous, and the turn call more so.

    as for the limit vs bankroll thing - you're right. Time to sort that out.

    value bet most certainly. and yeah, what the hell are you doing playing 10 NL? you are easily rolled for 50 NL.
