How to counter a continuation bet?

You could call and then lead out for ~$50 on a non A,K turn. Or you could raise right now. Or you could check-raise the turn.

Well I was wondering if this is one of the rare occasions in a cash game where a min-raise is effective?

What is your plan for the turn when you are called?

Assuming it is check/fold... I think it's a decent line... although I never do it.

My main problem is that if I was really going to check/raise with a J, I would want to put more money in the pot.

Jim, assuming I get called I'm pretty much done with the hand.

Do you make this play with a J?

No, I probaly wouldn't but I'm going on the basis that a min c/r here w/ a J is a common line by most players.

I don't ever min-raise anyone's c-bets, but when I'm in Villains spot and someone leads into me when I've raised pre-flop I often like to test them with a min-raise even if I missed the flop. This is ofcourse read dependant, but I find that leading into the pre-flop raiser is often an informational bet and so I give them what they want.
