The dreaded Min-Re-Raise

[JL]

What range do you put an unknown villain on when he min re-raises you prelfop??

He insta-checked this flop, which confused the crap outa me.
His river push just screams AA or QQ to me...

How do you guys play this?

Any flop reraise will pot-commit you so I'll push flop and pay off QQ if he has it. I read somewhere before that in a SH raised pot if you can beat AA you should go nuts.

I push this flop. You're only behind QQ and AA/KK maybe AQ are paying you off. This is a really weird line from SB. I guess as played you can give up when the A hits

[griffey24]

SB took a really weird line. After the flop check-raise, I'd put villain on QQ+. This could definitely be a set of Queens acting "scared" of the turn A, and trying to induce a bet.

I'd say you made a good fold on the river, though I'm not sure I'd be able to fold it. But I stack off way too much with two pair!

I actually like how you played this. I'd expect AA/KK/AQ to lead out here. Insta-check after 3bet preflop, then minraise.. if you look at that line I think you have every right to be suspicious. If he leads out I'd be more confident in my hand. River as played is an easy fold I think, the off chance he was playing AA like this is also conter-feited, and we can rule KK out too most likely.

On another note, SB shoulda bet like $45 on the turn.. can you fold to a less then 1/3 pot bet? And then when he shoves the river it's $95 on a $238 pot.

its full of people claiming that luck has something to do with poker.

Dont fold this preflop, c/r all in on flop. If he has QQ, meh.

haven t read other replies so don t mind me if i m just repeating everything :

-donkllain's range here is probably AK/AA/QQ/AQ

So I figure a push is +ev on the flop but a call is -ev on the river.

this reeks of an overpair. i think you have to push the flop and pay off QQ if you run into it.

I love this post. I agree 100%.

I read this as a .5/1 hh, and in that case I think its played just fine. But seeing as its 1/2 you gotta push flop. His range is QQ-AA AQ and maybe TJs?(donks like to min3bet pf with silly shit like this.) So pretty much youre absolutely crushing his range. As played, river fold is g00t.
