Call or Shove?

[bottomset]

I think its a call

You never took charge of the hand, you have no idea where you stand. I don't know how you can fold to the min raise.

The action on the flop is exactly what you wanted, why no raise? Get your money in the pot there!

[hielo_uno]

the only hand thats beat you is 99, so easy call here.
altho i would play this hand alot more aggressively, cuz if the board pairs, your deuces lose lots value here. I used to slow play alot to, but now i realize that slow play loses value sometimes.

[Mr_Donktastic]

You played this hand kind weird, but as played just pooosh.

[soah]

I think he has a naked 5 a lot

Uh, not quite.

I just call because the BB's hand certainly looks like 95 more than it looks like A9. Next time, get more aggressive...he clearly wants to play a big pot, so if you want to play the flop so slow, at least lead out on the turn.

Ya I agree, I played it kinda weird. Not usually my style to play sets so slowly but I thought the board was dry enough. But if I pushed, wouldn't u say I'd only get called by a better hand here?

[boltonflats]

Depends on your mood. I would have liked to find out where I stand earlier in the hand, but as played, either option is find. My guess is you have him beat. In the BB calling a mini raise with just about anything, I'd say naked 5 and push. But there are a few hands that have you beat and you have no idea where you stand, so calling is a valid option as well. 95, A5 could be hands well against his "please call me" mini raise on the river.

[jetsetboy]

As a side question how do you consider minraise on the river. I never minraise for obvious reasons. Is there any situation where a minraise on the river could be the right move? You don't have the giving very good odds problem.
