Beluga theorem: you get raised on the turn in micros and all you have is one pair, you're probably not best. Crappy spot but you probably can fold to the minraise.

If action had gone differently so that I could see him having 77, 99, 1010, QQ, KK, then maybe we call...but he would not play those hands that way.

Yeah basically when you get raised on the turn at these stakes you expect to see a set or a straight so we can probably fold the turn

It really would be helpful to know what your image is at the table and how the villain has been playing prior to this hand.

I don't think you should necessarily give him credit for a set or straight on the turn. He has position on you and it's quite possible that he has a hand like AJ, KJ, or JT.

If you believe that he has paired his Jack here, then you should probably simply call his min-raise and re-evaluate your hand on the river. You would only be putting $0.30 into a pot of $1.30.

You need to ask what your purpose is in re-raising the villain on the turn. If you really believe that you have the best hand, then you probably don't want the villain to fold. In order to re-raise the way you did, you need to be very confident that the villain is the type of player to commit his whole stack with a single pair.

oh yeah! I have notes on that player ... he likes to bluff opponents and crushes high stakes!. I have marked it as an aggressive maniac. I was not afraid of his hands .... thought he had a maximum of AK on their hands ...

Middle pairs here highly likely calling hands, a set is possible and the min raise is so small its just a pot sweetner and alarm bells should be ringing,, if you were bluffing in his shoes wouldn't you raise bigger on the turn to get you off the hand.
Call the min raise (pot control 1 pair hand) and and see what he does on the river, call up to a half pot bet on the river. (Easy in hindsight of course. my mantra never go bust post flop with a 1 pair hand)

Preflop: Not a real problem with that. Some might argue higher raise but you have good position.
Flop: That flop is disaster for your AA... You need to bet higher at least flop IMO to get a feel where you are at. If he flat calls then he's either chasing or has some piece of it.
Turn: Simple fold. Really he's just raising to make up for the smaller bet you did and trying to get value. And you pretty much trapped yourself and with 2 outs you pretty much did all the hardwork for your opponent.


***remember as well the more wider your opponents call with the more money you can raise preflop*** Money you could be losing.
