The only thing I really can put this guy on is AT or KT but I don't know. I started thinking maybe he just raised because i made a standard c-bet, help!

You're getting five to one, just call and see what happens on the turn.
If you miss and he bets again, just toss it.

I don't understand how you can put him on such a narrow range of hands after the flop. I mean, we're talking .02/.04 here. He could have any number of hands. The bad news is he's probably ahead of you, the good news is he doesn't have the slightest clue how to bet and as insomniac says, you are getting 5:1 odds with 2 overs. I'd float him. If I had some history with him and knew him to be overly aggressive I might even RR. Even if his raise is for real it'll slow him down in the future.

I guess i only put him in that range because i don't see any draws out there unless he has QJ which is reasonable. I ended up calling, hitting nothing on the turn and check folded

Villain's range can be huge here: sets, overpairs, two pair, the straight, straight draws, top pair... and occasionally bluffs. The big problem: you're behind most of that, and you're not even likely to beat it if you improve.

Unless I've got a read like when the villain minraises it's always a bluff (and in my experience at these levels, it's usually the reverse that's true) or that if we shove he'll always fold I just toss this.

His range here is huge, he's on the button so auto putting him on AT or KT is just weird, any of these 9T,78,99-66,TT,QJ are possibility's, usually i find these min-raises on the flop are strong, he's like, OMG I FLOPPED A SET MIN RAISE!!! he's giving you good odds to call but that doesn't mean you should, he could be raising AK or AQ for all you know.

I can't remember who said float him either but, and dont quote me on this, i'm sure floating is flat calling a bet IN POSITION as well, with the intention of seeing what he does on the turn before betting if he checks/folding if he bets, flat calling oop is not a good place to be 'floating' someone, just sucks b/c as you done, if it comes a blank theres not much you can do but c/f.

Your cbets too small as well imo, i'd have gone more like 28c i think, i dont like half potting it vs 2 villains b/c all it takes is one to call and the other guys getting 4-1 and is priced in with a lot of speculative hands.

Ok i googled floating and its not just in position, but its best used in position The article also said something about not floating beginner players b/c they just have no idea what you are doing and will call you down lighter, so as in my op, i wouldn't be flat calling here

thanks guys, i'm still learning
