Results (Boring)
I raised to $10, trying to look like I didn't want a call. He folded quickly. I was thinking he either had something or he didn't, and it turned out he didn't. I'm guessing at best he had bottom pair or a gutshot straight draw.
He might have called a smaller raise, but I would have had to check the turn to show weakness and induce a bluff on the river. With the board like it is, 1/3 of the deck is going to be cards I don't like. I want to get as much money in here as I can.
Fundamentally, I'm not going to get much out of this hand unless either he's got a reasonable 2nd best hand, or I can convince him I'll fold to a big bet. Min raise might have been the way to do that, but I'm not convinced that looks weaker in this situation than a slight overbet.
