Is my Play Out of line?

[jluker7]

Table is pretty tight. Wanted the freecard? Is this bad, should I even draw on this board? Is this risking a re-raise? Should I raise more?

Seems like UTG bet overcards or a small pocket pair and got scared of the 6. Seems fine to me. I would probably raise more normally, but if you had a 6, you probably would min-raise it, so in this specific instance I don't mind the min-raise, even though I normally hate it.

(Liked nothing better last night than seeing someone raise from EP, MP min-raises, EP min-raises back. Flop comes Kxx and EP loses his stack with AA to KK. For chrissakes, quit the min-raising!)

What did you hope to accomplish with the raise? I guess I don't understand the problem here. You won the pot with no hand - seems like a good deal. If by chance you get re-raised, then no, it is not a good board to draw on. If he calls, you will likely get your free card. I guess I like the play, but maybe that is just results-oriented thinking.

Thats why i posted it. I was wondering if I was correct hoping for the freecard?

Or should I just call?

[TheWorstPlayer]

Calling is certainly the worst since you aren't getting good odds to call (and may even be drawing dead already). Either raise or fold. I think fold is the best option, honestly, with so many people in there, but raising is not bad either. With an unpaired board, I certainly wouldn't min-raise (I would raise more), but with the paired board, as I mentioned before, I kinda like it.

Well my main thoughts was purly for the freecard. And for some information as if to I was drawing dead. Thanks for the help. I understand your idea with minraise. Thanks for the help
