EvilEcstasy_ ???

kinda hard to tell with just cold calls :) maybe JT, QT, KT. id check the river though and then call or fold depending on how much he bet

Hmmm... at my usual level of NL50, a minraise before the flop is either the mark of a maniac who likes to juice up the pot with most everything, or someone who (mistakenly) wants a few callers to stay in and pay off their premium hands.

After the turn bet, I'd be worried about a set with villain holding JJ-KK. Having said that, I'd probably lead out with a $40-$60 bet. If you get raised, you're most likely beat.

the harsh thing is his stack size, he has $102 at the river and the pot is $184 if you raise $40 pot is 224 if he raises allin u need to call ~60 into a ~320 pot which is great odds over 5-1.

So a $40 - $60 river bet will surely commit you to call if he pushes? in this case maybe check and hope for a cheap showdown?.. and fold to a big bet - i dunno i think this is where you need a read on the player for more of an idea of his hand value

I figured I couldnt fold to an all-in if he made one. This is because I felt if he had a made straight, he would have been more aggressive. Because of his pre-flop minraise, I felt he couldnt have KK QQ or JJ (which would have raised more), so I didnt think he had flopped a set. So if I went all-in, I could get him to call with worse hands, whereas If i checked he would just check-behind with anything worse (except maybe a bluff). So I moved all-in.

what a read by me

So you didnt fancy checking the river and folding to an allin?

Them short stacks are annoying at the rivers of big pots eh. I aggree chances of him flopping a set are very low, but if hes a realy bad player he may of min raised with AT, this is your only real worry though theres not many other hands u beat apart from KT, JQ, mid pairs and bluffs.
