raise to $5 pf.


on the flop it looks good. Fold to the min-raise.

On the turn once the BB calls the min-raise I'm ready to give up. Given this action I'm guessing someone is on the flush draw and a donk has a 7.

The table had been fairly tight so I'm ok with $4. I wasn't expecting BB to call, thought for sure I'd get it HU's.

Yeah, I took a while to call the mini-raise. I think I'd agree with you most of the time that a fold on the flop is fine. Something told me that he thought I was bluffing and wanted to take a shot at folding me out, but the mini-raise is ultra weird considering the BB call. But UTG+1 was pretty bad. I mean really bad. Really really...
I was assuming that either BB flopped it (boat) or had some over pair to the board.

well you got the extra information by calling the flop min-raise.


i raise more on the flop no so much to protect my hand but for the times I'm ahead and villains fold to the continuation bets.

Yeah I hear you. If I knew what I knew now, I wold have raised to 5-7 actually. I just wasn't sure how much UTG+1 would call with his crappy limped hand (he'd played every one since I sat down).
