I hate min bets - raises. They confuse me.

Are we bluffing? Are we betting the best hand?

Yeah we might actually have the best hand... Def. not the best draw. I see so many of these weak leads at this level. I assume they are always trying to buy a cheap turn card to hit their flush. The callers of this small lead can't have much (any set needs to raise). Or they are just playing horribly.

Just call the flop. You're turning a hand with value into a total bluff.

I don't hate a smaller raise to about $3 either, depending on reads. Not really a value raise, but not a bluff either. It just buys you control of the hand and may allow you to find out quickly where everyone roughly is.
