Bottom Two Pair line check

[lsaw2]

I was in a hand on another table so not sure if I played this hand right. Had tried to add chips but couldn't get them in time for this hand so am a bit shortstacked.

Seat 5: layoutdude ($38.50)
Seat 6: lsaw2 ($30.25)

I think you need to fold to the turn minraise. It sucks that we're folding to a minraise, but it's big enough that we're not getting implied odds to draw to our boat, and IMO most guys wouldn't pull the c/r with a losing hand.

I bloody hate min raises they are so annoying.

With him min raising the turn what would you put him on though? I was pretty sure I was still ahead.

That's tough without a read, but IME a bluff is usually a much bigger bet. It would take some cojones to c/min-raise bluff on this board, so I attribute a fairly small number of bluff/semibluff hands to his range. You could be ahead of AsQs/KsQs/QsJs here, or he could be getting frisky with As8s or something, but the rest of his range is straights, sets, higher 2p. There's a ton of winning combos right now, so even though I fold the best hand occasionally I think I'm still far enough behind his range for a call to be -EV.
