What's the buy in?

If it's low, you have to rasie more pre-flop. 80 or 90 ought to give you more information. The min-reraise pre-flop screams aces, but it I've also seen idjits do this with 99.

Bet at least half the pot on the flop. If he min-raises that, I become concerned he's on aces or a set, and at that point you are in a bit of trouble. You can re-pop the flop, and see what he does. If he four bets you there, I think you can lay it down. He's on AA, a set, or is a freakin lunatic.

The turn bet is just weird. Either he's got air, or a the stone cold nuts. Yeah, raise that, and see what he does. Fold to a three bet, which would probably be a push.

River bet, you've just played yourself out of the hand. I would probably check to see whether there is another tournament starting soon, and call. (But at the $20 level, you see so much weird stuff early, this could be anything.)

Buy-in was $100. I didn't want to reraise the flop or turn since people in this tourney play crazy and I didn't want to get pushed off by a KQ, AK, and thought he might let me see a cheap showdown.
