Personally I fold this preflop, but maybe I'm too nitty.

Flop is obv fine, but I check behind on the turn. Agree with the fold on the river - you might well be ahead but I don't think you've got the right odds to find out.

i like a fold pf. probably a call if it's suited.

i like the flop, but after that i think i shut down. if it's from a fish, it smells like a flopped set. fish generally don't like to check flops in which they were the original raiser unless they've got a big hand and they get fps. also if you had PT stats from this guy that would help a TON because we'd have a better idea of his aggression factor on the flop.

I would fold due to the donk minraise, which could mean anything - It is nice to know where you are at in the hand, and here you cant know you are good if you hit. I am reraising JJ+ here, just calling with any lower pair or AK, and continuing agressively with 2/3 and full pot bets on the flop amd turn only if I feel MHIG

wow. interesting hand. well, a min-raise could mean anything PF. howver, min-raise+passive play on the flop/turn now is typically a good sign of a trap being set. i would check behind on the turn and would prolly call a very moderate size bet on the river. as played, i fold the river too, unless you feel that they maybe doing this with KJ/KQ/KT/JJ/TT/88 or some other random hand (unlikely).
