50 NL Two Pair, turn decision
 

This is the first hand against this guy, so no reads, I've never played him before. Basically, what is our turn play?

I do not think folding is an option, so the question is do we smooth call or raise? He has about $20 behind after his $5 bet. Both have merits: obviously if he is bluffing he'll fold to a raise, whereas if he has a good hand there may be a lot of turn scare cards.

wtf at his action. Feels like a defensive bet with 1 pair or something. As retarted as it is I've seen donks min raise OOP with a random ace or even A-strong, and since he's too scared to buy in full to a 50NL game I'm assuming he's a donk. I say use his strategy against him and minraise. Since he uses it as a lame way to take initiative he could interpret it as info raise or something. If you want raise more but I don't think he's bluffing, I mean, who takes that line with air.

Edit: Sorry misread hand b/c I have multiple tabs open and I got confused.

I think I just shove here for value, especially because stacks are so shallow. You will get called by hands that you beat. If you had more than full stacks, I would call and re-evaluate river.

raise to 26.00 to put him in. If he has 5/7 so be it.
