No reads or stats on villain. He had just sat down.
How should I proceed here on turn? Should I have played flop differently?

In my experience the minraise here doesn't really signal much. Most villains are too lazy to click the slider and make a real raise, so they simply minraise.

That being said, I check the turn and attempt to keep pot small to see a showdown.

First, I don't think a flush draw would min-raise the flop very often at NL10. Most likey is he paired one of his cards.

That said I still would try to keep the pot small as AQ or two-pair are within his min-raise range. Check/call a resonable turn bet as you just picked up a flush draw along with your TPGK.

Yeah, I don't think its a draw either. Probably AQ or trips. Could also be KQ. I would call flop and hope to call down. But when the flush hit the turn I might bet $2-3 and hope to get a fold depending on the opponent. I think you'll have to bet that much on the river anyways just to see a showdown so might as well do it now while you have the advantage. If he calls that then just c/f river.

Do you think I would have folding equity against hands that beat me,if I would check-raise all-in?
