Default NL200 - Top two pair on paired board faces minraise on the river

No reads on villain yet. That kind of minraise is almost always for value but i'm getting very good odds... Would anyone fold this? Feel free to comment other parts of the hand as well.

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $1/$2
2 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
SB: $206
Hero: $194

Pre-flop: (2 players) Hero is BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">SB raises to $6</font>, Hero calls.

Flop: J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($12, 2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">SB bets $12</font>, Hero calls.

I curse here and call. Some guy yesterday actually missed his flush and made a minraise bluff on the river.

Would he really check a king on the turn? He might, but I still call.

Do you minraise river ever from position just like that? I think it's a decent way to extract value in situations like that. Is there any weakness in it?

calling your hand top two pair doesn't seem very precise to me.

lately i've seen so many minraise bluffs that I'd call this.

By leading the turn, you can get into so much trouble. Even if you have the best hand in the moment, you are vurnerable to scary cards and bluffs on the river, which become wortwhile after you builded up the pot. It depends on the metagame, but usually it is not a good play.

I don't like leading the turn because you can easily get pushed off a worse hand either now or the river.

as i think about this more, i may think the river is a call. The turn was checked and villain can easily be thinking "He can only call the river with a K."

I would probably call even a larger raise here because of that but I am a calling station. You definitely have to call a minraise.
