I make it $2 preflop and bet around 2/3 of the pot on flop. After that you can either bet the turn, folding to a raise, or check the turn behind hoping to induce a bet or a call from a worse hand on the river (call if he bets, bet if he checks).

As played, I fold the turn unless I think my opponent is FOS. The check/call, check/minraise line usually means a 9 on this board.

why are youi min-raising AK here?

2.50 preflop

[Werddown]

Bet more preflop.

Bet more on the flop.

I would probably bet this turn and fold to the re-raise.

Checking behind... I dunno I think hes betting the river if you check behind on the turn whether he has an Ax or the trips. I guess you could decide whether to call based on the size of his bet, but thats not usually too good of an indicator for gathering information. Since you didnt raise enough preflop, him having a 9 is very possible here. I think you have to find out on the turn if he's got it or not.

Had you raised more preflop then I think checking behind might be a good option, but as played I bet it and fold to that re-raise on the turn.

^^ You gotta stop min-raising.
