i'm probably raising the flop to 35ish. what are you trying to accomplish with the turn min-raise?

He think he is on a draw or a small pair and he want a free showdown.

craig can you please explain the call on flop and min-raise turn? How weak a holding do you think a tag will call your raise from SB.

I never minraise so I don't really have too much of a clue when its a good time to do so but I kinda like your line.

The way I see it his underbet lead on the flop looks most like a diamond draw. I usually raise there because I think theres a good chance you have the best hand at that point, but I see the merit in calling to control the size of the pot.

You minraise on the turn to fold out air, to charge the draws a little more, and to possibly get to a cheaper showdown on the river.

My question is how much if any do you call for if villain bets out on that river? edit- probably not much at all.

id rather raise the flop to like 30-40 straight rather than mini-raise the turn. hes not folding any draws to that turn raise....
