Just want to know what you would do with a sequence of events such as this?

First comment - I would tend to bet the flop a little more - half pot won't take it down - if he doesn't have an A or a flush draw he's likely folding and I'm satisfied with that given position and the board texture. If you're min-raised there, you have a more difficult or less difficult decision depending on how you want to chase. I'm a little weak, so unless I have a strong read that he's on a flush draw there, I'd probably lay down to the minraise, assume the A and not chase a 2 outer that puts a possible straight on the board.

You certainly have to lead out the turn - 2/3 pot to deny the flush draw odds - if he pushes you still have 10 outs presumably.

Range of hands for opponent here?
A with K-8 kicker, TT, 66, AA (not likely), any flush draw,
KJ (particularly suited and possibly KJd)

I'm putting opponent on the A here first with the minraise an attempt to determine whether or not his A is good since you halfpot bet the flop, the flush draw second, though I'm not going to give him odds to chase it.

I am curious what most would do if he minraises the turn again. Sometimes I would call - but most of the time I would push and pay off KJ that got lucky for me to catch a good enough second best hand to pay it off.

bet more on the flop
as played pot the turn, push to a raise

I would open push the turn. NL25 players tend to call too much and don't raise often enough.

[Rondavu]

Think like a freeroll. Make a hand and go deep. They follow often enough. He'll think you're bluffing the straight or something and call with the ace.

My over-bets get called way too often at the NL 100 level. I think I might have gotten two folds yesterday...
