Preflop: Hero is SB with A♠, J♠
2 folds, MP2 raises to $0.04, 3 folds, Hero raises to $0.12, BB folds, MP2 calls $0.08.

Flop: ($0.26) 8♠, K♣, 6♣ (2 players)
Hero bets $0.28 (All-In), MP2 calls $0.28.

Final Pot: $0.82

Thoughts:
- Do I treat the minraise as a raise here or as 2 limpers?
- Is my cbet ok or is it too aggressive given that he showed some strength preflop?

Hello!

Raise for 3.5 times the miniraise preflop.

as played, I would actually advise you to stick to 1/2 pot raise on the flop as it isn't a very drawy board and it's HU. a shove is still +EV though.

I would fold this one preflop. If you had position on the villain you could reraise him profitably, but since you're in the blinds push would be the only truly profitable move imo, but I don't think going all-in with AJs is correct, just because he minbet...

Hi Phil,

I do either reraise to 3.5x his raise so $0.15 because you have to let him pay for his position.

Or I shove directly, mostly he folds and you pick up free money

I think both plays has pros and cons but looking at the stack of MP2, I go for the shove

Best regards,
Gerv
