I think fold, call and raise are all viable options.

I probably fold here without a read. Don't know why, it just seems like a set or he's trying to make you fold your AK, and I think set is more likely.

Weird way to play a set on a drawy board, don't you think?

[justhetip]

Yeah it is a weird way to play anything!
I personally hate min-raisers.
So we beat most pocketpairs, which may play like this then? Is that your read?

I think he probably either has a draw or a set. I'm not sure which one.

But I don't like calling the flop and checking the turn, since if he has a draw, he probably miniraised the flop for a free turn card. So, I think the two best options are to call the flop and lead a good turn card or push the flop.

I'm leaning toward pushing the flop, since there's so many scare cards for our hand on the turn.

He has a set or a monster draw with that rediculous min raise, I think it's a fold.

If the raise was larger, do you like a call or a push?

[vixticator]

You basically minraised PF. Make it about $4. CO made a horrible laydown.

I would raise to at least $3 before the flop.
A decent player would lead this flop with a set. However, my assumption is most decent players would not be playing with 75 bb's and he would have reloaded. I think that gives more strength to his ch raise as most weak players ch call their draws. I just can't see him playing a draw that with with co still to act. I think he either has a set or some TPGK that he is overvaluing.
Might be a weak fold but

I quite like calling and donking the turn.
Something I should probably do more
