    Default AK in the SB

    Not much of a read on BB. He's tight and he seems like good player.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    MP1 ($7.45)
    MP2 ($5.40)
    CO ($9.05)
    Button ($7.35)
    JL ($16.10)
    BB ($21.35)
    UTG ($4.90)
    UTG+1 ($3.55)

    Preflop: JL is SB with A, K.
    1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.10, 2 folds, CO calls $0.10, 1 fold, JL raises to $0.3, BB calls $0.20, UTG+1 calls $0.20, CO calls $0.20.

    Flop: ($1.20) A, Q, 5 (4 players)
    JL bets $1.15, BB raises to $2.3, UTG+1 folds, CO folds, JL calls $1.15.

    Turn: ($5.80) 7
    JL????

    Check/call. The flop minraise might mean trips or 2 pair. He could even be trying to buy a free card with a flush. But with just TPTK I think you have to give him the free card he paid for...

    A check after calling a min-raise shows so much weakness though does it not?

    Yea it does. On second thought, then, bet maybe 1/2 to 3/4 the pot and fold to a raise? If he calls this bet, then I think if the river isn't a club you can bet the same amount of the pot again. I'm still figuring out my own strategy so my advice may not be that valid

    In SB I usually raise 3+number of limpers x BB. So in this case that would be $0.50 but at these lower limits I would go even $0.75. You are going to a flop vs 4 opponents and usually 1 pair is no good.

    I reraise that minbet to the size of the pot to see where I stand. He comes back over the top, I can let it go. He just calls I put him on flush draw and play accordingly. As is, I put him on Ax or Qx and I think you are ahead after everyone else folded.
