No reads. Did I play OK here? I'm unsure about the turn & river. Villain's wimpy turn raise confused me.

The turn minraise launches red flags in to low orbit. He didn't just make a pair of fours...

I check-call the river to avoid having to call a big raise when it's typically a losing call. In other words, you get your money in better by calling a bet than calling a raise.

i would've check-raised the river here since your hand is so disguised

Stacks are awkward for a river c/r. We won't be able to fold but we'll know we're beat if he three bets us. I like bet/call.

Without a read I would play that more careful on the river because of his turn minraise. His minraise is a donkey play, but I put him on a made straight or a set, so I would vote for a check-call on the river.

Ya check call the river Depending on how big the bet is ofcause if its huge I would Fold.
The minraise on turn and everything says that u are very likely beaten as mentioned before so now I think its actually Fold.
