I would probably fold turn without reads. They always have it when they miniraise lol


I think you played pretty well based on the situation. You probably can make an argument for folding turn, but with the pot odds you are getting, id probably still call. Was this player aggressive in general or on the tighter side? If he was generally aggressive, I'm actually going to make argument for calling the river block bet, here. If this is the type of player to overvalue any acex rag or something like A10. Most of the better aces I feel would have 4 bet you. Which makes me think either a set, A5s or worse A after the min raise, to "see where he is at". If this player was a tighter regular that never raised without having it, i can see you how you would fold, but honestly, i think i might flip a coin here on if I'm calling or letting this one go, it feel its probably a little closer than you think, unless the player is a very good reg.


You only need to be correct 25% of the time with the pot odds you are getting.


Turn you are just hoping for some weird ass bluff which i doubt happens enough in this kind of pot/action. You prob shouldnt play the hand so fast anyway. Smaller bets with this hand strength
