Re: The old minireraise: 225, get away from JJ?
[ QUOTE ]
I just call the original open. Once he reraises I am playing pretty much for set value. Unfortunately he makes weak enough flop and turn bets that you can call. If he bet 300+ on the flop I fold. If he bets 500+ on the turn I fold.

The point of him making weak flop leads is to get money in the pot. The small amount on two streets right away should dictate value bet and the hero basically came right along with what the villan wanted.
Hero should just call the open preflop and play poker.
The problem with calling the small flop bet is what to do facing a "small" turn bet. At this point almost 50% of your stack is in on a very marginal hand where the river is not getting checked beind very often. Calling the flop isn't THAT bad but calling the turn and river is pretty terrible
As the hand played out preflop lead flop, fold isn't bad IMO.
