You call these min-re-raises

You call these min-re-raises purely to flop a very strong hand. Strongly consider folding if you flop something like top pair, bad kicker and your opponent keeps betting. The optimal line against some players is to call once but fold to a bet on a later street. You should usually fold to a min-re-raise on later betting rounds unless you have a strong hand or a draw. Most weak opponents think they should min-re-raise with hands like top pair or sets after the flop. Unless you can beat or draw to beat those hands, you should usually fold because these players rarely fold top pair or better.

Check when you Hit your Draw

Check when you Hit your Draw One of the most common leaks is to lead into the aggressor from out of position whenever you hit your draw. Unless you know him to be a habitual bluffer, you should fold most made hands if a weak player calls your bet and leads into you when an obvious draw hits on the next street. Most players will bet a much wider range if the previous street was checked through. Leading when you hit flips your hand face up and kills your implied odds. Also, if your opponent was bluffing, it forces him to give up on the hand. Suppose you raise A-K to 3BBs out of your 150BB stack and the player in the small blind calls. The flop comes K-10-3. Your opponent checks, you bet 4BBs and he calls. The turn is the 8. Your opponent checks, you bet 10BBs and he calls. The river is the A. Your opponent leads into you for 26BBs. Even though you made top two pair, you should fold to most weak, straightforward opponents. In fact, you should consider folding against every weak opponent. Few players lead here as a bluff because it is too likely that the ace hit your range. They fail to realize that you can read hands decently well, so you may not pay off a bet even if you do hit the ace. Call your opponent’s river bet if you checked the turn because your hand is under-represented if you are no longer the aggressor.
