Kind of embarrassing but I find myself struggling in situations like this one. sry if its semi lame.

villain is 50/25 over 5 hands.

his range here is prob like 99-qq. aq+ 33-55 23s a5s a3s i guess he could be playing kk+ like this but kinda unlikely given no 3b..

for me the main problem is really putting an opponent on a realistic range when he minraises the flop with no real history. Idk if i like my flop bet given the board. if it was axx no draws i would have liked it more. halp!

Hoopy is an unknown quantity at this point
 I would check back the flop and let the BB bluff the turn since his stats indicate he may be slightly laggy and take stabs at the pot after you check back the flop. Cbet sizing can also be smaller here ~$2.50.

As to his minraise range, Ax,33,55,+little bit of air but not that much. Fold as he's never folding with half his stack in the middle.

Note the bold.

I'm wondering why you're betting the flop.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

bold noted :/ .. just bc its a minraise dosent make it less valid unless i have reads
i really shouldnt have bet the flop. idk what i was thinking. im in position villain is pretty laggy (over 5 hands granted) theres just really not much to be gained by cbetting in this spot.
