Folding to a min-raise?

[aislephive]

This situation has come up a couple of times recently, and I wanted an opinion. Let's say the blinds are 50-100 and I've got 3000 chips. I raise to 250 6 handed with 88 in EP and a player in MP min-raises me to 500. I'm out of position and 250 chips isn't chump change. Do I call and fold when all overcards show up, which they inevitably will. Or do I just fold and save myself chips? Here's another situation that's similar to the last one. Blinds at 75-150 and I've got 2600 chips and have JJ in EP 6 handed. I raise to 400 and the BB min-raises me. He has about 600 chips left. Do I call and see a flop, fold, or reraise all in? I know there are some variables I'm leaving out, but generally what do you do with a min-raiser? It just seems like such a weak play to fold to a min-raise, but that's just me. Any thoughts?

Situation 1: Fold. Chances are you're up against a higher PP. If you call and a face/ace hits, you could push or bet huge hoping that he wasn't on high cards, but you can't be confident in your hand.

Situation 2: Too situation dependant. You'd still have around 9 or 10 BBs to play with if you're wrong, pushing ain't too bad.

I find min-raisers either have two intentions in mind: if it's somewhere under 10% of their stack, they could be testing you, thinking you're full of crap. A smaller stack (and big stacks) that halves themselves... they're usually looking to go to the felt.

Hand 1
Evaluate why you are raising in the first place. That should make ur descision process easier

Hand 2
he has 600 chips left
are u going to fold anywhere on any street afterwards for 600 chips and JJ?
