Villain has been semi-aggressive but not overly loose from the few hands I've seen him play and has shown down some decent cards. I have 35.5bb left so it's shove/fold on the turn here.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (7 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Button ($1.20)
Hero (SB) ($4.90)
BB ($7.35)
UTG ($11.40)
MP1 ($2.10)
MP2 ($10.10)
CO ($10.45)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9, 9
5 folds, Hero raises to $0.35, BB calls $0.25

Flop: ($0.70) 6, 2, 3 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.50, BB raises to $1, Hero calls $0.50

Turn: ($2.70) J (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets $2, Hero folds

Total pot: $2.70 | Rake: $0.10

Robb is an unknown quantity at this point
I hate the min-raise. I probably fold the flop after that without some combo outs. As played, turn fold is standard, imo.

My thoughts exactly. It's funny how powerful a min-raise is at $10NL lmao. It's like their saying "Hi, I have the nuts, what do you have?"...

This is the only spot where I fold to a minraise. Usually I tend to call them if I have outs. It IS a minraise. But you only have two outs against TT+ or any set on the flop. So even if you're ahead some of the time, it doesn't compensate for being really behind the other times.

This is basically the reason for posting the HH. I almost felt I should have shoved it in but that would just be spewy. The villain doubled me up about 2 orbits later on the nut flush anyway. He won the battle here but I won the war, wheeeee....
