    With the villain's small raise I wanted to jump it up to make sure the people behind me folded. It worked perfectly. The fact that he min-raised then called my reraise said to me he probably had a small-mid pocket pair, or maybe AK, AQ, or KQ. After the flop he checks so I am thinking AK, AQ, or KQ, maybe with a flush draw, or his low-mid pocket pair missed. I want him off the flush draw though so I bet .15. He smooth calls. At this point I am worried that he slow played a made flush. Turn comes he checks again. Now my insticts are screaming that he is slow playing a flush, or maybe even a set, so I check behind him. River comes he puts in .16 its less than half the pot, so I think maybe I mis-read him, and call. Results below in white.

    I think you played it alright, i may have raised a lil more pre flop. Hard to read people at the micro limits.

    P.S. just because someone checks doesnt mean they dont have anything. Most people at low limits slow play like crazy. I have seen a guy limp with AA when 3 people already limped with the blinds still behind him! (he lost of course)

    I bet like 2/3 the pot on the turn. If he calls or raises then I have to consider a fold. The way you played it I think the river call is good.
