    Default Get Two-pair All-in on the Flop?

    Ok from my experience min-raising preflop generally means PPs and SCs and such. But there has been an odd thing that has been happening over at Pokerroom these days. While your yank friendly sites are getting more and more aggressive, this one has been getting ridiculously passive. So much so that people will no longer get KK all-in preflop, they will call you down to the river with it. Most people aren't even raising AQ preflop. The min-raise has taken over. So in other words, a min-raise could also mean JJ-QQ, AQ-AK.

    All that being said. I have no reads on this villian and am not sure what a min-raise preflop from him means.

    So would you do what I did here?

    I would do same because villain is probably donkish and will call with overpairs, top pair, and flush/straight draws.
    I think you are ahead of his range here.

    yeah i'd do the same, you want to make a big reraise on such a drawy board and a 4x raise is all in so i'd say its the right play. You're likely ahead and hopefully he doesn't draw out on you.
