I hate your check/min raise, I check/call this flop, as played, urgh... you've put yourself in a nasty spot, is he likely to do this with ak or aq? Probably not, though he might.

Fold as played

I usually just fold PF, but I think a call is reasonable. Still not a situation I am comfortable in.

As played: Come on - don't c/minraise! I don't have PT3 yet so I am not sure how much 10% 3-bet really means, but if this means that he is 3-betting somewhat like I start to c/r (bet size still sucks).

If he 3-bets light, but doesn't c-bet without a hit -> fold or 4-bet PF
If he 3-bets light and does c-bet without a hit -> c/r (or c/c) is okay!

PS: I am really not good in such situations and that's why I fold PF here often.

how big is your sample on him? The AF number can be tricky, don't rely on it that much.
I fold and leave the table.

Calling 3bets OOP with anything is always bad unless it's hands you're willing to get in PF (obviously there are other situations, but in general). You basically just got the ideal flop for your hand and you still have no idea what to do, so that's why it's only ever an easy fold.

Dont check/minraise the flop if your not happy getting it in.

Id fold or 4bet 99 pre against someone so aggressive because its going to be really tough to play oop post flop.

Wow, this is a very tough spot.

Preflop as played is ok, it is a lot of money but if you hit your set considering he 3bet you will win a hugeeeeeeeeeeeeee pot

however postflop is where things just spiral downhill. Personally I would b/f flop because checking is just asking for him to bet on you. I cannot understand the min-raise, unless you have some specific read on him... if you don't then I'm not trying to be mean, but the min-raise is BADDDDDDDDDDDD. He already told you his range when he bet, if your suspicious you can just call flop and re-evaluate turn, although a c/f is in order on the turn.

Overall pre standard, b/f flop.

I'm not sure what your thinking was during this hand, but it has several leaks and unless you are a winning player at Nl100 over a large sample, you may want to hit NL50 and work on your fundamentals. The leaks have been outlined by the more experienced posters above.
