55 in CO is sizing correct?

Force your opponent to make more mistakes than you, ie - offer them poor odds to draw to a better hand. By minraising that flop, you're giving 3.5 to 1 odds (he needs to call 22c in to 78c). So you're basically saying, here, play perfectly against me.

Shouldn´t we be concerned about the villain having KK on the river? I understand that it´s a mistake to let him get that far cheaply and then make his hand, but raising the river? Am I just a pussy?

Yes, KK is gonna show up here every once in a while. So is 88 and in rare cases 77. If he has 88 or 77 we were fucked from the beginning. If we played right we lol sigh and reload because set over set happens sometimes. Price of playing poker. Although it's doubtful he's got either of those because he'd have reraised us on this flop, looking to get the money in there.

Actually it's hard for him to have AA/KK here either because he also would (should) reraise those otf. He's a 9/6 which usually means he plays monsters, wants to get paid when he has them and is gonna charge us to see the turn when the flop is this coordinated.

But I digress, if we bet correctly and get the chips in with the best hand and he catches the river then good for him. Again we lol sigh, kick the dog or whatever makes us feel better, reload and move on.

Thanks for all the input guys. I applied what i learned today and stacked this asshole that held AA when I hit my set. Thank you guys again I shoulda been posting hands weeks ago.
