Note: I made myself a promise that if I do decide to take another shot I won't be overplaying big pairs. What does a min-raise mean here? At the time the villain was 30/10/1 which looked really passive. Honestly, I was tilting really bad because of the fact that I'd never seen so many min check-raises and I had no idea how to deal with them at NL25. I almost pushed, then reconsidered -- remembered my promise, yet at the same time calling and check folding the turn seems weak.

I call and reeval turn. Donking, c/c, or crai a safe turn is the next big and interesting decision.

30/10/1 and 41/17/3.7 are wildly different players -- at the time it was really the former? How'd it change so fast by 58hands if you have stats at all? Am I reading this right?

I may be off by a little but yes at the time this hand occurred villain was very passive. I'd say less than 25 hands which is not telling me much but that's all I had to work with at the moment. 58 hands is what he ended up running at.

This might go against conventional advice, but if you are tilting, I think the least varience play here, which isn't too bad, is to fold. Calling reevaluating turn puts us OOP in a bloated pot with top pair. I'd rather make a stand here.

Usually, tilt consideration aside, I'd reraise here and call shove.
