No reads on villian, and strangely, he is not showing up in my PT database...

What does he limp with UTG that calls a preflop raise and check/min-raises the flop that's not 88/TT/T8? I don't think I'm really ever ahead here.

Basically, my question is: should I call the min-raise on the flop? It seems too weak-tight to fold to it. My plan was to call and see what he does on the turn; if he bet small I probably call, big - I fold, etc.; is this reasonable?

Re: I feel icky in these spots...
 

At first glance the guy looks like a set miner to me. I don't think you can fold it to the min-raise of the flop because it costs you $4 to possibly turn a J and stack him ($36). With implied odds it is close.

I like the way the hand was played.

Re: I feel icky in these spots...
 

Yeah, looks a WHOLE lot like a set, you also could have turned a straight draw so can't really fold on the flop.

Re: I feel icky in these spots...
