NL25 TPTK vs. min-bet/3-bet on flop

[andrew484]

No reads at the time. I never know what to make of the min-bet/3-bet line. I usually just ignore the min-bet and treat the 3-bet just like a check-raise. Any thoughts on what to do?

I think I peel one off here, but not calling much more unimproved.

call the min, if a blank pops, shove it in. If a spade comes check it and follow accordingly.

I'd raise, but I'm a donkey...

Though, I'd guess the guy who's minraising is too, so he is likely to pay you off with weaker jacks and maybe even TT, 99 or 89, 78.

And if you just call it will be about $15 in the pot and SB will have about $15 left, so if he has any kind of hand it will go in anyways, and getting it in on the flop is better since he could have a FD and if he doesn't scare cards could come off that kills your action.

you have to remember that his weakbet/minraise is most usually a better hand than TPTK
