Yea this turned out pretty horribly. I think I like a call to assess the turn as the best line possible to continue the hand. When he called my flop re-re-re-raise, I really didn't think he had such a shitty hand and so slowed down on the turn.

I guess what this can show about the minraise is that its meaning depends on the player's tendencies. Most times it means strength, but it shouldn't always slow you down.

Thanks to all who replied for their input.

hmmm...tough hand on 3... I have a strong draw feeling here as well.. the KQs, or AQ does mke sense. Villian re-raised a little better than 1/2 the pot at that point and if you think you have the best hand a pot sized bet about $200 would be my next move to try and win the pot right there. if villian re-raises I would fold and find a better spot. if he calls a non-draw cards on the turn would make me push.
