25 cents.

Someone will put you on clubs and raise you big, then you can move all-in. Sounds like a jackass play, but I've fallen victum to it a couple times now in the last few days.

$3-3.50 is also a good amount to bet.

That play has suddenly become popular in the last 10 days. Has some major strategy guide suddenly published this?
ummm 25c. I'd call that and hope my nothing hand becomes gold.

If you bet 25c, why will someone put you on clubs? Normally min bets with flush draws are done as blocking bets and you are last to act. Also, why would they raise big as a bluff if they thought you had clubs? Most people wouldn't think that you can push someone off a flush draw at these stakes if they are a habitual min bettor anyway. Also, if they already have a hand and where planning a check raise anyway, then you might as well put out a standard cbet and let them raise the larger bet so that there is more money in the pot. In the long run, min betting will cost you value on your hands if you are doing it with your monsters hoping to be tricky. Remember that the goal is not to trick your opponents, its to make the most money in the long run.

I'd stick to anywhere from $3-$3.50. You have a monster hand and have to get $17 into the pot by the river. The best way to do that is to bet a solid amount of 2/3 the pot to the whole pot on 3 streets until you get all in.
