Default WTF do i do about minbet-minreraisers (Stars $55r)

relatively new to table, but I just hit a streak where I won four pots in a row (culminating in a knockout of someone with a flopped full with 92 in the BB vs. a turned flush).

Uhh, is he really dumb enough to take this line with a queen? What do I do here, how often do I have to be good, if I call, how big a river bet can I call, etc.

J9SUITED is Cloutier's acct, but I've played against some real donks using that account. I really think you have at best 5 outs.

I thought J9 of Clubs or something was his account?

Anyway, fold.

And fold preflop.

And prob just call the turn.

Yeah, it's J9 of Clubs, not J9SUITED.

Look, Nitty McNit might be afraid to play A9 on the button vs. a cutoff raise, but not me. I have position and what rates to likely be the best hand right now (I did consider reraising PF).

Oh yeah, my bad.

But I know J9SUITED from somewhere. Let me rack my brain or look for notes.

Yeah, he's actually shown to be decent in my opinion. I don't know WTF this is. Maybe some 3rd level thinking?

I'm calling down here I think. Just because this is weird as hell, and also because I like calling.

I don't see a hand having 5 outs.

Let's get a range here. Would a queen make these minbets on the flop and turn? Would a player bad enough to not build the pot with trips here be bad enough to make this play without a queen?

I mean, either he has it or he doesn't, right? And if he doesn't, how often is that the case, and what does he have?

I'm thinking TT/JJ/KK/AA is more likely than QX for some reason.

Obviously you don't have 5 outs vs AA, but otherwise.

I assume you mean calling down as opposed to raising the turn? I think that was they key mistake here. As played, I fold.
