its okay just. since board is quite dry and he has fired 2 barrels why not raise more on turn and set up for river shove/bigger pot. He is showing strength!!!

im 50/50 between raising flop and calling tho. since board is dry i may call.
Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.

i learned this line when i was like 6 :P mix it up a bit, to a player with 5% of a brain, thats obviously a set, and you probably wont get much more then the $8.50 he's put in.

on the other hand,if he is a donk, then c/c c/r all da way... part of me thinks he has a set of his own, but who knows if your beat, just dont fold unless draws hit.

Your goal in this hand is to get it all-in. His play represents strength, and he probably has here I would think at least a-10 (although at .10/.25 I suppose it could be a wider range). If you smooth call, the pot will have around 18 in it and you will have around 16 left. Thus, if your opponent fires like 10 or 11 on river, he's committed to call u. You're probably going to get it all-in here even if you raise, but i like smooth calling and representing 6-7 suited, or a weaker 10 in this spot. If you are going to raise, however (which I think is good for balance if you are playing with regulars so people know you can raise with a set in this spot, but at .10/.25 online isn't really necessary), I would make a standard 3x his bet raise to like 17 or push (If you leave a little of your stack behind he might be more likely to think your bluffing tho, it really doesn't matter that much though because he's going to most likely call all-in if he calls 11 more. The one play I don't like is ur miniraise. I play slightly higher limits (.5/1), but this play wreaks of set to me. If I am ever going to be able to fold a big hand in this spot (if you were playing against me), it would be the way you played it. So, to summarize, my rating of plays would be:
1.) Call, Get it in on river (if he checks river, maybe just bet like 10 to lure him into a call if you smell apprehension; Depends on your feel for the player though).


2.) Raise to 16 or 17
3.) Push



4.) Your play.

It's probably not going to matter if he has a big hand, but 1.) gets a few more bluffs to fire.
