What does op have?

[Robert]

Opp seemed like an aware player, tho I wasnt 100 percent sure. What do you but op on? Guessed there was a chance of AK when he bet the flop, so I decided to minreraise him (I didnt want to commit more chips in case he would push with AA or KK or if he had trips with JJ or QQ). I wasnt so sure when he called tho, but when he minbet the turn I was afraid of that he was trying to induce a bluff (holding trips qs or js), so I decided just to call and get a cheap showdown. when he folded to my river bet (which was a valuebet, tho I know it was small) I'm pretty sure I was up against AK.

On a sidenote: should I have reraised the turn and stop being afraid of him trying to induce a bluff?

[Fnord]

Painfully easy read.

Your opponent is drawing to an OSD/flush/AK and you darn near charged him the minimum to draw against your pay-off hand.

The flop raise is bad and the turn call is setting fire to your bankroll.

[EricE]

You need to bet at least half the pot on all streets to make him pay to draw. You make your money on people that pay to draw.

[Robert]

Ok, I get it, bad play on my part.

But how come you said its an easy read? What part tells you that he's on a OESD/flush/AK draw?

Usually, they'll bet something like $2 or $3 though.

the 25 cent on the turn is the fish way of making a blocking bet. It's like they want to check so bad but they are afraid you will bet, so they solve that problem by intimidating you with a 25 cent bet that they pray you just call them. Villain lucked out on this one and thats what you did...but the cards weren't with him today.
