Min raise so easy call pre. Flop donk into 2 players is not ideal for 2nd pair but could be like FD, 66, pair and GS or air. Turn 2 pair and so call again. River triple is not ideal again and if he shows set or 86 or 5x fine. Surely OK to call down for that sizing yeah?

I'd be prob be raising the river to get called by worse Ax hands given how small their bets were. I'd make it $3 and fold if we get raised. As played your line is fine but think we lose value in the long run not raising river.

This is not a defend preflop imo. Can defend pretty wide, but usually stuff like the SC's are a better way to expand range here as opposed to Axo. Can defend any offsuit broadway though.

Best play on the flop is typically to raise, at least exploitatively. Hand needs some protection.

As played it's a call down, but not super excited about it.

Wrong hand type to defend even versus a min raise imo. We've no info on villain and will almost always be outkicked against a normal MP range.

As played I would take the same line of calling down. But there are arguments for making a raise on flop turn or river.

On the flop bluff raising in position works well on connected boards where we can barrel turn and check behind on the river getting enough value from draws and avoiding looking weak with a capped range.

On the turn villain can call a small raise with his draws or when he thinks we're trying it on. There's worse two pair combos out there we get value from.

Same idea on the river although I think it's very thin and would prefer doing it on the flop or turn if at all
