    I'm not folding this. You are getting 3:1 if you shove all your chips in (opp with certainly call). You may be beat but opp may also be on the flush or straight draw, or TPTK or worse. I think I call here.

    I go broke every single time here without a very very solid read. This kind of flop minraise is by no means always the nuts, I expect to be ahead of his range.

    Plus, I encountered a similar situation a few days ago where I shoved over and opp folded

    Thx guys. Felt sure this was right but I've been on a hellish downswing and wanted to be sure.

    Bear in mind that if he has two pair then you pretty much have pot odds to go all-in and draw to set/counterfeit (backdoor nut FD helps too). So you call, unless you feel certain that he has set/straight way more often than a semi-bluff or other hand you are ahead of (which you don't).
