Default Continuation Bet with AK minraised, what do I do?

Ok, so I just started playing uNL again, and I've faced this situation over and over again, and I don't know what to do here. I usually fold.

Poker Stars - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.01/$0.02 Blinds - 3 Players - (LegoPoker HH Converter)

Hero (SB): $4.95
BB: $6.26
BTN: $0.53

Preflop: Hero is dealt K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 Players)
BTN folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $0.08</font>, BB calls $0.06

Flop: ($0.16) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $0.12</font>, <font color="red">BB raises to $0.24</font>, Hero ?????

I call here and hope an A or a K comes on the turn.

I think BB probably has a small overpair (77-99).

I'm not sure if you can make that hand fold at this level, so maybe folding is better.

Personally its a fold for me in this situation.

You're paying 12c to win 52c at that time. About 4.3 - 1 in terms of pot odds. You've got 6 outs which will hopefully improve you into a winning spot. Approximately 1-12.5 chance of hitting an out on the next card. You're not getting the pot odds to call, regardless of how good your starting hand is, you're on the flop now. Bin it.

If you have seen him do this in the past before often then I would raise him. This is a super dry flop, and I would expect him to let you know after you raise if your behind or not. I understand that you have A high but if this guy is like the majority of players at this level playing 53 percent of their hands to a raise then you figure to be a head on this flop more often then not.

Try a raise to about 65 cents. Fold if he gives you anymore heat. I hate min raises and try to punish players who I see doing this often, I figure they are bluffing weakly more often then not.

Easy fold. Forget trying to knock players off hands at this level. You are getting 4-1 on your call but you may have very few outs. You are out of position, blah blah blah. Just fold it and move on.

The thing imo is, its a 50c pot, I think there a better way's to re-raise and risk money then to take down this size.

Risk vs Reward.

it's 2nl. a 50cent is rather big. anything other than folding is a gigantic leak.

Agreed. 2NL is not the place to get fancy and squeeze in a small edge on hands like this. Just fugghedaboudit and v-bet him to hell on the next orbit. Way smarter.
