Default Re: Handling people betting small

I run into this all the time. Not unlike minraising, the minbet can be frustrating. It has been my experience that villain is most always on a draw or weak here, looking for a cheap showdown. Also, when you call the turn villain often pots river hoping you will fold. I call the turn and any non club river here. You will be surprised how many times villain is on air at the river.

Another tactic is calling villains riase with any suited ace, suited connectors (even three gappers) because the downfall of his strat is he gives drawing hands odds. And, if he is playing his sets and overpairs this way he will be paying off when you get there a large percentage of the time. The key here is hand selction against these guys. While i feel like you are ahead here a large percentage of the time...instead of guessing you can manipulate your hand range to directly counter his betting strategy and punish him for using it.
