Do you play it any different?

Just want to see if you guys agree with my line here...

Table has been pretty aggressive. My continuation bets and pot buys in late position getting raised more often than not. No real read on this particular opp though.

Don't minraise the flop. Raise the flop, just don't minraise.

What's your plan if the turn is a ?

It looks like he's got 22 or 44 on the turn.

I'd raise a little more pre-flop to get it down to 1 or 2 players, unless you were going for the look of a CO steal and counting on a re-raise.

I agree with Rilla. The min-raise is good in one sense as you've got top hand for now, but it's a giveaway for a strong hand and it doesn't stop the flush draw. By the time he gets to calling your re-raise, his odds are looking pretty good.

For some reason, with him betting out, I put him on some type of king and I didn't really think that he would call a potsized bet raise from me... That min raise was a mistake but for some reason I mistakenly though he bet the pot there... If he had raised pot sized, would a minraise of ~1/2 the pot be incorrect? What do you raise to? It's about a 10$ pot with his raise... would bumping it up to 12 be sufficient?

After he just called the flop re-raise, I really put him on a K since another set would likely not miss the opportunity to get more money into the pot behind a weak min-raise, esp on a 2flush board. His actions seemed very tentative so I felt that either he was trying to play me with a set or really was weak.

This was my first session of 50NL and I thoroughly enjoyed it...

results below:
he had AKo MHIG

I think that I could have been more aggressive on the flop maybe raising his bet to 10-11$ but any more than that and he wouldn't have stuck around to talk himself into giving up all his chips...

If I raise, I usually raise the pot and shave a few bucks off. This way, I'm making it very bad for a flush draw to call but they still can. And I can play the rest of the hand fearless of the flush cards.
