[2NL] TPTK on flop facing min raise

Villain was 36/5, only through 22 hands though. Usually limped, 40%, and had tried to steal from the SB 100%, 3/3. Had only faced 2 3bets, folded to 1 and called 1. No post-flop stats/reads.

I usually read a min raise as quite a strong play, but not sure I can fold TPTK on this board?

Call. Stacks are already set to go in, Hero has position. Villain is on ATC range, so clearly Hero is ahead of that.

Calling might induce another bad play by Villain, that is, betting on another street with a worse hand. Raising here gives Villain incentive to get away from a hand that is beat.

If Villain turns up 2 pair or better, curse the poker gods' sense of humor and move on.

Call and re-evaluate on turn. I think we're way ahead of his range as he thinks any K or J is the nuts here.

you goal is to get all the money in here - you are ahead a lot.

You just need to plan how you are going to do that - think about how this guy isnt going to see KQ/KT type hands here....and bet accordingly

Def call, play well after that. Post more of this hand!

I normally associate a min raise with a retard with 2nd pair or without the balls to bluff air properly at the micros. Definite call, but tread carefully.

Are we c/c most turn cards, unless villain overbets?

Id c/r all in as i think hes never folding a Kx here and we are only behind a little (and likely still with some outs if we get it in super bad)

Edit: or shove over turn - either

Call, then Bet and Raise the turn.

bigger pre, call the c-raise

call the flop c/r
shove turn
