Game is $1/2 NL, 40 max buy-in (lol)
I've been at the table for a few hours, Villain sat down about 2 orbits ago. Hasn't really shown down anything special. I am the "big stack" on this table and have been playing TAG in position and tight/passive OOP.
Villain in MP1(~$65)
6 or 7 limpers iirc, Hero in SB (~$180) wakes up w/ A
6 Hero completes SB, BB checks.
Pot ~$15
My plan is to check/fold all flops that don't give me 2pair, trips, flush or FH with rare exception to top pair. Check/call if I flop a flush draw & am given odds.
Given that plan, should I still fold SB? Is completing SB w/ this hand gradual spew? Is my plan -EV?
Flop: 6
Q
T
Checked around.
Pot ~$15
Turn: A
Hero??
How much should I bet? What's 2p2's plan for the rest of the hand?
Thanks

Turn: A
Hero bets $12.
Folds to villain who min-raises to $24. All fold to hero.
Pot: ~$51
Hero??
At this point, I didn't know how to interpret the min-raise. I've seen the "dreaded min-raise" used by weak players as a sort of "see where I'm at" bet w/ a nut flush draw live. But, it could mean pure strength, too. Thoughts?
Looks like folding here is the consensus.
Does a min-raise change this? - essentially giving us ~4:1 explicit odds to
1) Bluff catch a busted 1pair+flush draw hand
2) Value bet worse 2pair/worse Aces
or implied odds (though not huge) to river a FH.

FWIW I called, hit a 6
on river and stacked villain who had KJ for a turned straightLooking back, though, I was a little upset w/ myself for being behind in the hand and having to suck out to win so I just wanted to see if I made a correct play or not.

Reason: added villain's hand
