2/4: Unknown makes bizarre minbets

[gaming_mouse]

Oppo just sat here. His turn and river bets were so strange to me that I decided just to call. He clearly sucks, and the bets show either weakness or are a trap, but I didn't know if that meant I should raise or not. Who raises?

Also, what do you put him on after the turn? after the river?

hey jamougha,

does "lawl" mean "lol"?

also, i assume you are folding to a raise right? and the minraise is value against ace high?

Looks like how i'd play it

If we get min-reraised this would put is in a tough position for a decision on 4 additional bucks which I think we want to avoid.

A min-raise on the river is idiotic indeed for obvious reasons unless you plan to call a big 3-bet and I assume he was ironic.

I would strongly consider a big raise on the river even vs an uknown but probably play it like you did.
