I'd probably play it the same against an unknown. Not sure if it's right though.

I don't like any part of this hand. In my experience when I get minraised on the flop like that its either one of two things. I tend to cbet a lot of flops, so it's either sort of a weak bluff, or its a big hand (two pair, set,etc). Obviously he has a large range with a limp, call preflop. On the flop I don't think a call is necessarily a bad thing since he could just be posturing and trying to rep a big hand. But on the turn and river, unless this move is read based which you said it wasn't, I don't know how you can call 2 big bets with just top pair. He might have flopped a set, straight, some funky two pair, and all you really beat is some Ax type hand or a complete bluff. I don't make it to the river with this hand against an unknown.

I also feel like I shouldn't be getting to the river here most of the time. (Although I seem to get minraised and check minraised a lot - Of course this guy is unknown so that shouln't ocme into play)

But where do I fold? To the minraise? Getting 3 to 1 on turn? Getting 5 to 1 on river?

How about reraising the flop and folding to a push? Is that a bad play?

It seems like it to me. It lets him play perfectly. Fold w/e isn't beating me and push w/e is.

Let's see what other people say.

You called $21 on the other streets, 3-betting on the flop would cost you $21 and I think that would be preferable than calling down. When you three bet I think he's either going to shove or fold.

Exactly he folds w/e I was beating and shoves w/e I wasn't beating.

POT the flop,

as played I hate calling this down, do something, Raise the turn fold to a shove, reraise the flop?

The thing here is the bets are so (whats the word?) "Pissy" esp the river taht you cant fold even then

Sorry im thick what's 'w/e' mean?
