when someone minraises me and i have a monster i minraise back, this will make them feel commited on the turn.

push the turn.

I'd bet pot on the turn then that saves you from having to call his push on the river which I doubt is a flush. As for his push, I'd call...I still doubt he has a flush. If my pot odds are correct you have over four to one odds to make that call and I bet you are good more than you need to be.

What about 3-betting him on the flop?!?

As played, I am calling on the end, easily and confidently.

I generally push if I get minraised and have flopped a monster. I can understand you not wanting to risk losing him with a 3 bet but you have to lead this turn. I'd bet 30$.

On the river, I'm calling because of the raise preflop and the odds that you're getting on the call.

What about 3-betting small on the flop, and then pushing the rest on the turn?

This has flush written all over it. He min. raised as a semi-bluff for a free card.

I think you're committed on the river although I don't like it.

Either pot the turn on a donkbet, or push to like 40 on the flop.

I sometimes re-raise the flop here. If not then definetly put that [censored] in on turn. Pot is big enough already.

Where you worried about the J on the turn or going for a c/r?
J is not a worring card on this board.

Not a great Idea to go for a check raise as the min-raise on the flop is many times a lazy man's free card play. (the other times it is usually a good made hand). In both cases betting the turn is good. Either you get paid by something or you protect your hand in a big pot.

Edit: The way you got there I probably check call that river.

I don't really like it because it really gives away the strength of your hand.

He was going for the checkraise.
