I know most people don't like the minraise but I figured it was the best way to build the pot and hide the fact that I had a 9.....wasn't real sure what villain had here, but I thought it might be AA or KK, at least that was my thinking at the time. Once I filled up on the turn, based on pot size, I thought I might induce a river bluff, or a river bet with him thinking his AA or KK were good. Like it? Hate it?
