or raise more--you don't really want him to call in position. Killing a kitten here is just cruel and unnecessary.

I also for sure fire a second bullet on the turn here though, given the way you chose to play the hand.

I agree, with a dry Ace I don't really think a min-raise was the best play; it's just asking for a call, especially with the antes now in play. I feel a min-raise would be okay if you had pocket Tens or better, since then you'd really want the action, but more or less he's gonna call your min raise with just about any 2 cards, especially any middle connector through 2-gapper, more or less making this a coinflip, however the call puts you out of position.

3x his blind preflop would have made him think about playing a bit more, but once he called your min-raise PF, I don't think a continuation bet is too good on the flop here, considering the texture of the board, and that fact that if he calls, you're going to have a hell of a time playing the rest of the hand if you miss an Ace on the turn since you have no position.

Outcome of the hand?

Thx for the input. I usually fire 3-4x the big blind when first in the pot at these levels, for some reason I've developed the habit of just going 2x when in the small blind with less than a premium hand. I'll 86 that from now on. Also think I give up on hands a little to quickly and will try firing away on the turn as well sometimes.

The results where I folded, he didn't show.

I cashed for 4 times the buy-in, busting on AK suited against QQ's.
