Raise more on flop, detest minraise looks so strong.

Bit more on turn after flop gets called so £6 here.

River close to pot so like £13 here but could be shove if you bet bigger on previous streets.

I have hit a set on a dry board that is perfect for my hand, the min raise is to build the pot, keep my customer and if he has AQ the small raise give him the chance to come back over the top. I can see no reason to price him off the pot at this stage as his flat calling suggests he is weak.

Maybe I should have added in that he did play a little timid, you may say scared money so adapted how I played the hand to the player. I had reraised him strongly a few times and it was always a quick fold.

Have to agree, hate the min raise.  Flop is so dry I likely fold all Q's with no redraws.

Building a pot is fine, but not when we shout about it.  You min c/r him.  Got tbh.  I'd rather just lead £2.1, then go for two more streets at half pot.  Maybe overbetting one street.

As played I half to 3/4 pot river, praying he has made 2pr which seems likely,

We are basically playing our hand face up on flop.  Shocked you get value at turn.  He must have 10J :P
