200NL - flush facing weird action when board pairs
 

First orbit at the table and villain is unknown. I've seen him limp a previous hand so I was assuming hes generally passive.

Snap fold or snap shove?

Min reraises from unknowns always confuse me. His flop play to this point seemed consistent w/ how a passive player would play a set, but I dont know if hes the type to limp JJ and there arent many other set combinations. I guess bigger flushes are out there, but it seems like an odd card to suddenly wake up and start betting on. All that said, its a minraise which could mean any number of things depending on the player and people just do weird [censored] sometimes.

shove, I'm not crazy about it though

You shoved, he snap called with 22255, and you were sitting there scratching your head.

You then posted the hand, deciding to throw in your one-orbit read on Villain, I guess in case you got flamed?

Close?

this is not helpful to OP in any way.

fwiw, i think villain is much more likely to have a flush here than a boat.

Re: 200NL - flush facing weird action when board pairs
 

you're right.

There aren't too many flushes we beat here, and without any solid reads I don't assume that he's check-minraising the turn with just the As.

Re: 200NL - flush facing weird action when board pairs
 

shpanko, what hand that check minraises the turn are you expecting to get value from? As5x, any random 5, maybe AsJx or 64ss although I'd think these would be less likely?

No, I folded the hand and posted because I fight a constant battle against being weak tight. Thank you for your insight though.
EDIT: love your loc btw hagbard
