this is a fold, and it's not even close

Yeah it would look like that from all the discussion. Not close at all. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...

i call here most of the time and push some of the time.

i would never fold here getting 3:1. you people are crraaaaazy.

If I called, I'm willing to put it all in probably with second pair or better (it would depend on his bet size if the flop was AQx or AJx... KQx or KJx I'll usually beat him into the pot).

I push and if I get called by AK it's really not that bad.

pushing > calling > folding IMO

Think about this
your going to let him min raise all of your sbs for the rest of the tounry. What happenes when there at 100/200 and you have 1000 chips and he min raises you have 59 in the bb?
The thing is his min raise range here is huge but his call range is probably tiny...AJ+, 99+ maybe KQ. Repush for sure

OP says he's a gambler... and he's getting low on chips... he could very well be calling with much wider than that.

Also, if what I do now encourages him to raise his crap later, that's fine, cause I'm popping him back later when the blinds are higher. Right now, it's just not worth it to me.

I lean towards folding, just for this reason. When the blinds are higher, and that min-raise is for more chips and more of his stack, there's a chance I will be able to punish him then with a better hand.

[/ QUOTE ]

i think this might be a bit optimistic. i should fold this and wait for another time when the blinds are bigger AND everyone folds to him AND i somehow have to find a better hand than QJs to make a move with (AND if i dont have a good hand the chip stacks have to be such that i have some sort of fe to make a move)?

That's bad advice, and it's not even close!
