I would fold to the min-bet, if im in the BB i only really play to flop a monster(2 pair or better). You could raise it up if you think your best, but thats risky. I hate calling here, cause you dont know where your at.

check prflop.
Call the flop.
Check the turn, fold if bet more than 15.
Check/fold the river (unless the turn checked, then I could call a smallish bet).

I dont think I like the turn bet Id rather check. Its the kind of play I used to do all the time but reading HOH has made me reconsider it. I think it could possibly be what he calls a dark tunnel bluff which is neither a value bet nor a bluff but its done because it seems more active than simply checking. Its a tough situation with a mediocre hand though.

You played it fine. I might raise flop if I'm feeling aggro but probably not.

Well, I just wanted to see what the turn card was. The 3d was harmless and I figured most K high will re-raise on the flop to protect their hand from the draws so perhaps my kicker was good.

I bet 100 in an attempt to price out draws, which apparently failed.

Eh, I don't like raising on the flop with that many people left to act behind me and how much people like to draw.

I figured I'd try out sort of an old limit trick where on a draw intensive flop with a medium strength hand you play it slow and see the turn and then jam it when a completely harmless card falls and get off cheap if draws hit and you are facing action.
