As my father always said, "Son, choose your sword wisely for some day you may find you must fall on it".

My thought is to fire out another raise. I would put him on K-x or possibly a J or Q high flush draw. With the second minbet on the turn I think he's weak and you could get him off either of those hands with another raise unless he is the king of all calling stations. If he's really terrible he could have a bare ace here, but I doubt it due to his calling the raise on the flop.

I would almost certainly raise, the small bet on the turn seems weak to me (although some players use this as a trick move, but usually not at lower limits which I presume this is from, its much more likely they are trying dictate the size of the bet)

If your opponent calls the raise on the turn, you can check it down on the river, if you improve with the flush, two pair or trips, you obviously bet.

Players love to come out betting when the scare card ace comes, I've seen this play so many times its unbelievable, especially for a small bet. If the player really made two pair, or even spiked the ace they would almost certainly be check-raising the turn because you had raised the flop and would presumably be betting again on the turn.

I agree with re-raising the turn bet.

It screems weak. Obviously if he raises you you can fold and if he calls you can cehck the river.

What a weak bet out of him, it says "I am weak, take my money."

I absolutely despise the minbet. It's just horrible. Every time someone does this I want to raise with nothing just to spite them.

Read Doyle's NL sections in SS1 and SS2...


He pretty much advises you to do just that for that reason
