Early in an MTT (about 15 minutes) and I had just been moved to this table for 1 previous hand.
No read, except that Prima players in general are pretty bad.

    Let's put him on Ax, with one diamond higher than J.

    It's a J high flush. I'm not going crazy here. He is willing to bet into you, I'm just calling.

    Raising here makes him go away, unless you are beat already. If you just call, I think he will pay off the river, which is the best way to make more money here.

    On the river, I can put in a bet if he checks. I'm raising the river on a non-pair, non-diamond card.


    When's our h/u match? I've run my party cash to over $200. How's $20 matches at a time?

    Probably why I don't last long in these things, but I'm pushing here. Ooops...too early. But I'm definitely going to call with turn at the very least. More then likely I'm bumping it up at least to a pot sized bet. If he does have the Ace, make him pay to play it.

    oh darn hobbes, you back on prima? back on there now and again now i figured out the use my bank fiasco, try playing on there and some of those tourny's and get back to my roots and give jokerstars,donkeystars and or pokerstars a break.

    If you think he's a bad player and that a min raise will frustrate him you can try that, but it is kind of an obvious play.

    The best option is to call again and let him hang himself on the river.
