I would say read dependent. Villain could have small pair, flush draw. My thought (as someone who doesn't play NL) would be to raise him back a small amount. A draw calls, so do small pockets, a T might go all in allowing you to get away from the hand.

No reads on villian.

None? No reads at all. How many hands did you see him play? He could have AKs or AJs and gunning for his flush draw. If he has AA or KK he would raise you preflop I believe.

flush draw + overs ?

Not really. He just sat down. I saw him show down a big hand that he won and that was it.

flush draw + overs ?

That was my thought, which puts me about 50/50 and out of position.

Him minreraising doesnt tell anything, as it could be anything or nothing. THough if you have notes of him doing it with good hands then fold is fine, if not ill definitly reraise or call and take it from there. I could find a fold here if the board was drawless and you had tp, but your hand is to strong to fold like this imo.

He could do this with A high just because its a paired board and therefor he thinks you most likely didnt hit and want to test you. He could have K5o for all you know.[/quote]

Him minreraising doesnt tell anything other than the fact that he is a donkey

FYP

3bet, fold to push I think.

Yeah, this is my normal line. The truth is, I was getting ready to quit after this hand. Even though it's lame to say, I didn't really want to lose a big pot on my last hand. It was just easier to pretend he had a T and fold.

The problem with 3 betting is there is a good chance he'll just call and then you're way out in space on the turn. I'd say it's a check/fold at that point though. That's the best line though without any reads I guess.
