$200 6m, Min raised with JJ

[poboys]

Two hands from last night.. I hate the check min raise on the flop. Thoughts on how you react on the flop/turn.

Hand #1. Button is 40/12/2 over 200 hands. I have not seen him min raise, and he generally plays passively after the flop. He loves to cold-call on the button.

BTN: $438.30
Hero (UTG): $218.50

<font color="black">Preflop:</font> J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($3, 6 players)
<font color="red">Hero raises to $7</font>, MP folds, CO folds, BTN calls $7, SB folds, BB folds

<font color="black">Flop:</font> 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($17, 2 players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $12</font>, <font color="red">BTN raises to $24</font>, Hero ...

Hand #2. SB is 46/7/2.8 after 200 hands. I, too, have never seen him min-raise. Other than that I don't have many reads other than he plays like most 46/7's.

SB: $291.25
BB: $200
Hero (UTG): $210.70
MP: $150.80
CO: $374.40
BTN: $73

Tough hands. H1 I may call and lead turn, fold to a raise. H2, I might call and reevaluate the turn because you have position.

Small hands facing a raise are just marginal EV spots, based more on meta and feel than anything.
