25NL: bottom pair on a paired flop

thanks guys thats really helpful.
And yeah, not quite sure wtf i was doing min raising suited connectors in MP, im pretty sure i was in a tight spot on another table and just stupidly hit raise lol :P
I called the river simply because his turn bet was so weak and he rolled J7o.
Quick question with the reply from shotglass, why am i reraising him to $9 or $10 when there's only about $3.50 in the pot? if i chose to reraise in this spot at the time i probably would have gone to $6 or 6.50.

Don't listen to shotglass, he just told you to raise the flop to nearly half your stack for information and then fold to a jam which is retarded. If you're gunna turn your hand into a bluff here, you don't need to make it so big, but you don't need to turn your hand into a bluff at all cuz you have showdown value as villain either has a king or he doesn't (most likely if he's bluffy at all), and he'll usually let you know by his bet sizing on later streets.

You played it ok aside from preflop, though I'd fold to a turn or river bet that was closer to pot.

Definitely, weak betting really gave him away. thanks

I miscalculated the pot size bet...to make a ps re-raise it would be about 6-ish. If I'd said pot sized re-raise it would have made more sense...sorry for the confusion and the display of my drunken math skills. I said seriously consider a fold to a jam because of the 40% cr OTF that the villain has. That's a lot of air...if he continues after a re-raise then he's probably got the goods.

WTF would you just call OTF when that hand is good but extremely vulnerable?
