Poor Cash Player Needs Advice

[voiceofjoe]

Just started another attempt at being successful at Ring games - I've ordered some 'light reading' but until it comes I've decided to revisit the tables to remind myself how bad I really am :D This hand flummoxed me and I was never sure where I stood in the hand. I 3-bet pf Bet the Pot Then he throws out a min-bet (whats this usually mean ??) Then bets pot on the river when we have had runner runner heart ? I cant put him on the flush - can i ?

Treat min-bets like a check basically, it's never a trap IME, they're trying to get to SD/ see the next card but don't want to bet and basically don't know what to do so just treat it like a check. The only flush he's likely to have is 7xhh which is possible knowing these guys. I imagine he's loose passive which means he's unlikely to bluff post flop, though when i do see these people bluff it's usually on the river. It's a really confusing river spot as there's not much he can have but must have called the flop with something but doesn't look like he has a 3 and he wouldn't play a K like that. Because i don't think he has pure air in a river bet here we can fold as we lose to all his value hands.
