Hey everyone.

The villian is a fish 36/12/4. Check-r 8% of hands. I have no idea how to counter this crappy minraise. I usually see insta-pot on any turn. Here i have no good turn cards apart from Ace and 9h (doubtfully for both), so call i a waste of money. Neither i wanna reraise. So i ended up folding to avoid  further mistakes.

An 8% x/r frequency is pretty low and seems fairly in line.  Reading into his sizing here could be helpful. 

From your own range's perspective, if your folding this hand, your probably folding a bit too much, especially since your getting great pot odds.  I think you have enough equity to call and play some turn cards.  Turns like hearts, board pairs, 9, A are going to be good ones for you to continue on.  And if a card like the 6d rolls off and he checks, you have a pretty good opportunity to turn your hand into a bluff.

My gut says this isn't a monster super often (that's my experience of low/micro min-raises). I think you can probably call this with pot odds, position etc profitably.

Yeah I often flat KMR here pretty wide. A lot of V will be looking for a cheap bluff bc board misses your MP range pretty often and often times you have air and overpairs on this board. If V knows this you kinda have to call turn as well as you rep pretty much this hand.

I often see this from passive V also who know they should be bluffing with high frequency on certain boards but don't like to put a lot of money in.

As discussed, Board pairs, A, :h and 9 all good cards for you. 

If a particular V is doing this frequently then try clicking back air and flatting everything else including monsters. Super unbalanced but:

It gives you a good price on a bluff

We don't need to balance straight away and should be playing maximally exploitative initially

We get to see how he reacts
