I suppose villain had either an overpair or a set, but the bet is a strange size (and a check might be more profitable than his donk. This suggests to me that the better does not want to see a bet). Any ideas?

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.01/$0.02 No-Limit Hold'em (8 handed)

Known players:
[tg]BB$2.77:///////;UTG2$1.48:///////;MP1$4.97:///////;MP2$0.29:///////;MP3$1.77:///////;CO (Hero)$2.84:///////;BU$0.77:///////;SB$0.98:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is CO with A:d, K:c.
2 folds, MP2 raises to $0.06, MP3 folds, Hero raises to $0.18, 3 folds, MP2 calls $0.12.

Flop: ($0.39) 9:d, 3:s, 7:h (2 players)
MP2 bets $0.11, Hero folds, MP2 gets uncalled bet back.

Final Pot: $0.39.

Hello Elroch,

Against his stack I'd just raise preflop him all-in and that's it. Postflop you can still even consider Calling for the given odds, he may easily even have worse. ♦

And you need only like 19% equity there and for example:

Board: 9♦3♠7♥
       Equity     Win     Tie
UTG    23.94%  23.94%   0.00% { AdKc }
UTG+1  76.06%  76.06%   0.00% { TT }

So therefore I am still Calling on flop.

Best regards.

I simply missed the idea of betting big enough to put him all-in preflop - not often an opponent is that short-stacked. This would avoid the decision on the flop. And the reason for his flop bet size should have been blindingly obvious to me ...

I see now it would only be appropriate to fold the flop bet if his range for the flop bet is dominated by sets (which it is not) I am surprised at how badly I played quite a simple hand on this occasion! But really very instructive.
