    Do u guys bet the flop here?
    Iv been gbetting the flop but often i get min raised and i get lost.

    Wat do u do if I bet the flop and get minraised?
    My standard play has been to just fold.

    Is it better to wait for the turn to bet this?

    Downswinging holla!
    In a blind versus blind confrontation, I rarely get cute. You flopped top pair and it's extremely likely the best hand. I would bet out here every time. However if the pot had 4-5 other players I would probably check-fold with such shallow stacks. Don't be scared to bet though just because you have gotten raised in the past. I would bet if I had bottom pair here as well. If you get called you can always slow down on the turn if you wish, which is the great thing about position.

    I can find a bet here on the flop here. Checking gives an opportunity for one of many scare cards to come and cost you the pot. I think I might bet out and then slow down after that.

    As for what to do if you get min-raised. Here I think it comes to feel, reads, stack sizes and pot-odds.

    Bet the flop. If called, and bet into w/o improving, I think you're behind most of the time. More importantly, this is not a hand you want to invest any more chips in.

    If you really think this guy is calling you with air (happens all the time, calling with Ax), then bet with 250 next time. Essentially you're saying "I have a ten."

    In the end, w/o improving with this hand, bet only once.

    I often steal the blinds in a sense betting the flop when bb vs sb limper. Check preflop, he checks to you on the flop you min bet, he folds. I dont really run itno much resistance, but Im also not playing hte same sngs as you. I think the min raise is weak though, esp if it seems to be a trend in these sngs. I say if you get check minraised, call (youre getting nice odds here) and you have pos. If he checks to you on the turn you obviously have him beat.
    You-- yes, you-- you're a cunt.
