Default 5/10 set vs Xorbie

This is vs. Xorbie. He was messing around with the kerpowski minraise strategy and had made this small 4bet pf earlier, and was OOP that time as well. I'm not sure if he knows this is me, I doubt it. We have ample history on Full Tilt, which usually consists of him outplaying me and me sucking out. Sorry if this is easy.

calling is ok but you hate to see any A, 3, or 6


plus stack sizes are a little awkward to not raise imo

U don't think a raise looks a little strong given the 4 raises preflop? I doubt a decent player raises 99 here.

Min raise giving him ~3.5:1 on what is likely a 6 outer at best and more likely making him uncomfortable while trying to invoke a strategy he's not fully adept at.

calling is okay, and so is raising. depends on table image i guess. if you've been folding to his c-bets, i would raise here giving out the message "i can have QQ here and i'm sick of you making me fold". and he can respond by "OH YEAAH WELL I HAVE KK+ HERE SO I'M PUSHING. LOL YOU'RE GOING TO CALL WITH QQ."

i just call here. if he has QQ+ you will get the money in on the turn and if a K or A hits on the turn and he has AK you might stack him as well as he probably won't give you credit for having a 3 in your hand.

however a sexy minraise is just so tempting and fun. minraising FTW!!
