I don't know what his min-raise preflop means... Normally opponents at NL5 play draws passively, so i think chances are higher that he also has an overpair or tries to steal the pot.

Should I call on the flop to disguise my hand, or 3bet (i think folding is not the right play)?

This is a semi -3bet pot so changes somewhat - I hate this situation in a normal pot as we usually slightly sWA/ WB.

Preflop vs a min raise donk I often 3bet properly as if they had normally PFRed to 0.65ish and esp @ FR when I used to play it. U can try the FR forum for better replies too.

On this flop and vs an unknown he likely has 77+ and is testing so I would shove given pot size. If he's a donk then he can have fdraw/6x more in his range but given the pot size. I would bet ~1$ on this flop and call a shove.

Like you say folding is bad and calling with the intention to push safe turn is better vs draw part of his range but may get tricky on a heart/str8 card turn + K/A are possible scare cards for tt-qq.

thx
yes, maybe i should've raised a little bit more preflop. a $1-bet on the flop also seems to be the better play. with the small flop-bet i intended to look weak and induce action. bad idea with this flop texture? A, K, Q would definitely not be great cards for me. but the majority of possibly turn-cards would not kill the action.

I think that calling on the flop is better than shoving, because most of the hands i beat would fold, wouldn't they?

at this level, most people are not folding an over pair or a FD, i get as much money as possible on flops like this. i would not call here at these stakes.

I agree that you should have bet more on the flop. But I don't understand your reasoning. What if he min raised your 1$ bet, wouldn't you feel like you're in the same predicament?

push. i doubt he is folding his fd/overpair. you will definitely get paid off by TT/JJ here and if he's on the fd he's probably not thinking hard enough to put you on a big overpair that is stealing some of his outs.

Put UTG+2 AI.

Also, full ring.
