    Default Super-annoying situations

    Since day 1 I notice a lot of micro players donk min.betting on a raised pot OOP on a flop that you don't like.

    Assume no reads on opponent. Say you open-raised 4x with TT in position, 1 blind calls, flop J72 rainbow (or even worse KJ2), blind min-bet, you raised him to almost pot (say 7x), he calls. Turn a blank, say a 3, and he min leads again.

    Or you have AK, same betting patterns, board something like 9525.

    So what should we do? Just flat call turn -- confess weakness and hope to spike our 2 / 6 outer, or raise the shit out of him again (trying to represent a monster), or just give up?

    Just treat it like a check.

    What would have done had he checked?

    Good advice.

    I usually just draw if they call a raise and then do it again, I figure I'm behind, but what odds. If they minbet the river, I'm calling unimproved just in case.

    i like lee´s advice.

    when they bet a serious amount on the (blank) river, do not call unless you can´t beat TPTK, when the river gets minbet again just raise them off their missed draw.
