Im guessing the mini raise was crap and i should of raised to 100? It would be stupid to just call the 20 bet on the flop right? How's my line on the turn?

Yeah, the minraise does nothing but sound alarms and keep the pot small.

This board is pretty damn safe for slow-playing but the pot is so small, I'd try to build it by raising to 100 and hope at least one opponent comes along.

That sounds about right.

BTW, the minraise is REALLY bad. It doesnt do anything. There is rarely a time that a minraise is correct, and this certainly isnt one of them.

I don't mind just calling...there are still a decent # of players left to act...the board doesn't have any big draws...and people will come along with overs for just t20 and if they hit on the turn..they'll assume they have the best hand..

also, this board also isn't the best for dragging people along with a raise...there's just not much people can call with besides a lower set or a mid PP..
