    Original raiser is 7% PFR in 14 hands and UTG, that is why I did not 3 bet.

    On the flop, I think my reraise is ok or do you think otherwise? I guess UTG puts me on AQ and goes all in, I was afraid that he had AK but I called anyway. Should I have fold? Is his all in ok from his pov?

    Also, what should we do with those ridiculous mini bets, in this case 20% of the pot bet from the SB, I usually see some fishy guys like to do even 10% or less bets. In my experience in the micro-stakes I see this happens in these scenarios:

    1. As a value bet when fish has the nuts or a good hand. He wants everyone to call.
    2. When there is a mw pot because many limp preflop and on the flop in early position one guy do this to see where is he at (or also as a mini bluff,) meaning he wants to discourage people who has nothing after the flop. I guess this kind of work some times. Let's say UTG micro raises on the flop, if I am on UTG+1, I would fold if have nothing and many people act like this using the same logic, until maybe someone calls because has middle pair or a better hand.

    What I usually do is if I have a good hand, I raise it at least half pot and see how the other people act, many fold but some of them call. I think this is ok, but if the OR 3bet or goes all in, I know I might be in trouble because it could be the scenario number 1.

    Tiny donkbets in spots like this are often drawing hands - they do it partly to juice the pot and partly as a blocking bet to avoid having to face a bigger bet from someone else (particularly the preflop raiser). The fact that he called the raise rather than 3-betting is more evidence that SB is drawing.

    Never raise or bet just to see what people will do. Raise or bet to get better hands to fold or worse hands to call.

    In a spot like this I wouldn't be too worried about AK but there are lots of draws to worry about. So I'd want to raise big enough to make it expensive for them to draw (and to get value from hands like AQ/QJ/AJ). I'd probably go pot-sized, say 1400).

    Thanks DM, good advice about betting. I'll try to incorporate this on my game.

    Now that I am reviewing that hand again, OR might think that SB or me could have a flush draw and raise all in to protect his Ks. Do you think his all in is ok? If I were him I would just call.

    With stack sizes the way they are he might as well just shove the rest in after you call. If he does have a K then he likely has a made hand to go with his straight draw (KK/KQ/KJ or AK for the made straight) so getting his chips in isn't a bad play.

    In a MW pot and draw heavy board like this and at these stakes I wouldn't even mind shoving OTF
