$11 Hit with scare card on the turn

[kstarm]

No real read yet on villian, but he hasn't been playing out of line. I feel this happens with some frequency, ie hitting the flop and then getting checked raised on a scare card on the turn. In retrospect my turn bet is a little big, and I probably should have played it differently.

@ anyone advocating a call: what do we do when he pushes a blank on the river?

I think you should reraise preflop over his minraise, otherwise there is great odds for players behind you to come along.

If you consider folding here you should bet closer to 1/2 pot on turn instead of almost pot size

donks who minraise almost never minraise bluff. I think they almost never bluff. I hate the min raise but here I would respect it. I bet he made 2 pair on the turn A6. I find at low levels you can respect raises. The other possibility is hes a dope with 66. What suited hands might he be playing? KQ, QJ, QT, JT, 9T,78 Which of these hands min raise? The more I think about it the less I think he has a flush. I lean to 2 pair or a set.

I have seen donks minraise with hands they have no idea what to do with very often, this include hands like low PP, KQ, AT, A9 etc
