My thoughts here are he probably is on a smaller pair and I want to make him committed enough to call a shove on the river. I tried a min raise on the turn hoping he would flat and then feel commited on the river.

Hi there,

You've got to be raising the flop there, an overpair is not strong enough to slowplay.

If he re/raises afterward then you know you're beat.

I don't see the point on raising there on a dry board as most weaker hands fold and better ones reraise/flat.

I think I'm saving it for the river. Chances are his range that is calling a turn raise is also donking the river, so you'll be able to shove it there, he only has a PSB OTR. So you've lost no value.

If he checks the river and you jam it looks more bluffy than the min raise on the turn, and I think you'll get more calls from the range that's folding to the min raise.

Just my opinion, but if he has say a small - medium PP as you believe then he would be just as likely, maybe even more likely to shove it in on the flop. (Don't forget he's only got ~50BB stack).

The turn and river could bring further scare cards too.

Any stats on villian?

Hello,

Preflop I think we can isolate potsize here.

On the flop I'd go for a raise and prepare to shove on the turn and you don't even need to make it big - $1.6 will do the job.

As played on the flop, I prefer shoving turn rather than minraising.
Another option is calling and calling river.

Best,
Plamen

I too think that raising the flop would be better because he would call on that flop.
