PL 10: top two facing donk bet

[Vanidor]

So I see this play rather often and sometimes it means I'm facing a set or better and sometimes it means I am facing just better than air. What do you do in this situation?

No reads, in fact both villain and I sat down and posted on this hand.

this is full ring ... i really dont like calling a raise w/ AJo, i guess since its a minraise, its ok if you only play the flop if you hit a huge hand, like you have here.

id bet the hell out of it, and shove anyone that raised me. try to get it all in.

I wouldn't. Scares off too much. Make a little suck bet, like .7. A lot of the time the guy's drawing nearly dead.

[Marshall28]

.7 into a 1.1 pot isnt really a sucker bet ...

With most any other hand, I'd be betting .9-1.1. So to me, .6-.7 is a sucker bet.

I would raise the minimum and see if he gets frisky. Then push as much as you think he's willing to call and continue to do this for remainder. NH, btw Sir ;- )

ummm, dont ever raise minimum in this situation, please. i mean, unless you hate money.

just a little under pot it. Obviously the minbet could mean any number of things, but if you don't know, you don't know. I would guess in this context that he's blocking for the cheap draw (minbet=draw), but KdJx is possible (minbet=weak), or 66 (minbet=monster) or KK (minbet=probe)or even AK (minbet=TPTK,monster). But I'd assume the draw. This means we need to bet, but not so much he won't call. We'll be calling any raises, since AK is more likely than 66 and he will play them the same way. This is going to the felt with no diamond on the turn.
