I think, at this level at least, I read min-raises (it's pf, so a raise) as "I don't understand standard raises". It could hide anything from AA to any two sooted.

Seeing you bet means that you DON'T have a hand, and that read is confirmed in the second hand that you posted. Check/call when you've got it, raise when you don't.
Man, that's a really dangerous way to play. I mean taking a "read" off just two hands is risky enough in itself. I mean, take what you can get, but to believe you've figured me out after two hands?
The reason that it's particularly short-sighted however, is that you ought to be aware who I did it against. If I did it against someone else, out of position then that may be better evidence.

I mean really. "Seeing you bet means that you DON'T have a hand".
If my opponents really believed that then I'd be making 100bb/100.

And again, you've got to move beyond "slowplay TPTK" and "don't slowplay TPTK".
In this instance I was 91% to win after the flop.

91%

If you asked me what I thought my opponent was holding I would have given, in order of likelihood:

QQ, JJ, KK, AK, AA, TT, 99

But I'd have bet good money on the top three (pf re-re-raise from a passive player good evidence imho)

91% against these, if it's something like KQ, QJ odds are even more like 98% (but doubt these would have got a pf re-re-raise). I'd be stupid NOT to slowplay this.

Of course this is based on reads, which could be wrong. But they weren't.
Had I blown my entire stack on this, well it would be a lesson in how I shouldn't trust my reads.

Yes. Although I only needed one of them. Or any king really. That's what AKo is my number one money earner (net) and in top 6 for profit per hand.
It was a risky hand here because I had no idea what they had. I would never have put them on Q6s.
