200NL: TPGK facing minraise, whats the best play here?

[pokerfan]

just sit at this table and no reads on my opponent. After my big flop bet, he minraised me on this dryA high flop, so whats the best line here? Also, i noticed that his effective stack was not a big threat, really.

minbet / minraise looks like a new trend on stars cash games.

hero calls and either leads or check raises turn.

you can't fold here and raising accomplishes nothing.

with around 50BB behind, so we felt it our TPTK & TPGK hand every single time? I'm just wondering what these dumbass minraise really achieved?

hero calls and either leads or check raises turn.

Yeah felt vs midstack most the time (UNLESS ITS FNORDDDDD). You'll see AJ and bluffs a bit more than you'd think. The only hand that beats you is AK. He will rarely have a set.

thanks, guys. Yeah, i called his flop raise , check/call his turn shove and hit better two pairs on the river Anyways, i was planning to felt it regardless of the result.
