BB checks, Hero ?????

The villain was playing very standart and put cbets in every flop. This minireraise confused me and the flop check too... What the best line here?

[shyturtle27]

I'd bet about 120 and if he calls then slow down and if he raises then fold unless it's the minimum. I see a lot of people do this with small/medium pocket pairs and they give up without a set, two pair, or an overpair.

well if his range pf is weighted to higher PPs then I don't mind checking for pot control. You wont know where you are in the hand but you might induce bluffs.

If he does the min3betting alot just bet the flop as you are likely ahead.

I like betting 100 here. I'm folding to a raise (besides a min, as shy said.)

We are likely ahead.

This pussy raise to 100 usually means that the player doesn't know what to do with mid pocket pair or Arag, but doesn't feel that calling will do life justice. So, yeah, I think you have the best hand + position; sometimes, btw, he calls you down here with pocket pair, so you have value and you can protect your hand, make a bet.

If he RRs you, take a note and move on.

The way you described villain looks like he is either slowplaying or is scared of that flop. I like checking behind and calling one barrell. If he bets turn I call and fold to a river bet. If he checks turn, I bet.
