I know it is an easy fold for me, but I would be interested to know what range you would give the villain to min raise on such a wet board??
Is it just straight&flush draws, or made straight (would this not bet more to protect against flush draws however unlikely?)

thanks

Without more information on this player it's really tough to say. In general I'd say min raises are weak plays made by weak players, so your not necessarily beat here. He could have a hand like 9-10 or even 8-10 which gives him a pair and straight draw.

Players like to make these types of plays to freeze the action and also because they may have the best hand and have a draw to boot.

Of course, there are the players that make the nuts here, and then min raise to confuse you too, so information on the player is crucial.

Yeah, information is needed on the player. There is no hard and fast rule on what the min-raise means.

However, in my experiences, at lower limits, it more often means a made hand than a draw. Although, obviously for some players it will mean a draw, etc etc.
