Villain's 45 bet on the flop is too small to fold to. Call and gauge on the turn.

Looks like he missed too- I 3x here and see how villian reacts.

Thats what I normally do and they fold very often. The minibet at the lower limits is some perverse form of blocking bet with no attention paid to the board most of the time.

i would read that small bet as a blocking bet for his flush draw.

raising to 150 in a 500 pot gives him the odds to draw though.

raise to 300.

Raise to 300 and leave yourself w/ 275???
May as well push if this is the case. Raise to 150 to get more information without necessarily commiting yourself. Alot of players will fold on this level without an ace (even though they have pot odds and drawing odds).
