People's min3betting range vary widely, but I'll give an unknown credit for actually having a hand here. I'd say his range is JJ+/AK.

Folding preflop is probably best, with domination issues and reverse implied odds all over the place. Yeah I know you are getting good odds but you are not going to have much fun postflop.

Flop steal is transparent.
Check behind.

its hard to check raise in posistion. I figured i could easily have a pair of 77 or something of the like here.

Ugh misread. I still think the steal is bad though.
Just check behind.

even with 77, would you like his minraise there, and preflop? don't think so /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I figure folding preflop is fine to me as well... Just don't do that too often, else you get raised all the time when you wanna steal the blinds /images/graemlins/wink.gif

You are right.
But villain seems to play pretty bad, and he is probably more concerned about his own hand than yours.

FWIW I'd instacall preflop with 78sooted.
QJ is just such a annoying hand to play.
You'll only win a big pot on a miracle flop.
