<font color="blue"> WTF was I thinking?! I know I only beat AK here, but my gut was telling me he was weak. I have seen people min-rr pf with AA and check on a flopped A, but how does one check this flop with and overpair? I thought it had to be AK. Thoughts? </font>

this is fine. I probably play it the same although I bet the flop a decent amount of the time.

Why? or should I ask for? value? to fold to a raise?

Re: 25NL 10\'s OTB in a Min-RR\'d Pot
 

b/c he isn't checking overpairs often and you need to get value (if possible) and not let him draw for free otherwise

betting the flop would mostly be for protection, you want to protect vs the 4overcards

I think you definitely need to bet this flop. If he calls, I'm probably done with the hand and hoping to check it down.

It's also very much a value bet since players will call at this level w/ overs.

If he was really tight then our TT would merely be a bluff catcher should villain call/raise a flop bet of ours.

Given his stats, his range is certainly not like KK+ here despite the flop minraise. It´s true: a lot of the time, he calls w/ overcards. And sometimes he has AA.

I still think it´s profitable to bet for value, it´s just not as profitable (in the long run) as betting with a lock.
