Comments, opinions, etc welcomed. Should I have reraised more on the flop? I put him on JJ/55 here, anyone else?

Also, no real reads. And this is my first real hand played with him

what are you trying to accomplish with the min 3-bet on the flop?

Yes?

I call the flop and lead the turn for 1/2-2/3. I fold to any aggression after that.

whats the point of the minraise?

I push the flop depending on the player.

I would think that pushing on the flop is only going to get you called by better hands. I know its only 50NL but a lot of people are still folding top pair weaker kicker in this place. Are you pushing just because the pot is big and you don't want any drawing going on or what?

A lot of fools also have KJ in this spot.

[LethalRose]

it depends on the player IE someone who i know plays flushes like crazy, im pushing.

if button is a rock who i know wont be raising without a real hand here im folding.

as mark said the minraise is pointless, it doesnt define his hand and gives you no information whatsoever. its just pointless chip spewing. there is no reason to do it here unless you have the nuts and you want to build up the pot, hero has far less than the nuts here. a real raise here and then a strong reraise makes it an easy fold.
