Raise. If he has a Boat with a pocket pair, then that sucks.

I called.

Villian showed KT.
I won but would have done much better with a raise.

With the yankers I play against on UB, I would not have been
at all surprised if I had seen someone show 63s, here.

yep, and if he pushes, you've got to grit your teeth and call.

also, your raises on the flop and turn should have been bigger.

I definitely feel that the flop and turn raises should have been larger. A decent raise on the river is warranted as well. MP betting $.50 on the turn and $1.00 into a $7 pot on the river appears weak.

How tight/loose are the blinds/limper..mattering on that answer I'd rather raise in this situation than call and probably fold a majority of the time. I guess it really matters on how the table is playing but getting it heads up with 1 weak limper and I have the button is a pretty good spot no matter what you're holding.

I hate the min raise on the flop..raise more at least make it a pot sized raise here...you're just asking for a call here when you really want him to fold.

The raise on the turn was better but again I would have potted it.

On the river I say pot it again...

I called.

Villian showed KT giving him the same hand with a lower kicker.
