Villian is unknown, is this a standard stack off?

I hate stacking off with 2pair in unraised pots, but I think this one looks A-ok to me.

Maybe by and large because his check-minraise, min-4-bet just looks so god damn stupid that it draws out the ire in me. But this really looks like an uber-donk with a draw to me. Would a monster hand check-minraise this flop that looks INCREDIBLY drawy? I think not.

I stack off here.

[Craggoo]

This is almost always 77 or 88 here fyi. And the cliche that its dumb to go broke in an unraised pot (with anything other than a set) holds true here.

[Harry Fong]

I'm ok with it. The only thing that beats you is a set, everything else is drawing. IMO you will take this down more times than not.

[Lego05]

Nah I'm getting it all-in and being happy with it. There's only 1 combo of 88 so the only hand I'm really worried about is 77.

PokerStoving to come.

Did you see how Villain played his hand? Seriously, a check-minraise in a tiny unraised pot on a board thats about as drawy as they come, and you think that this is always the 3 combos of 77 or 1 combo of 88 and not the 40/50+ combos of straight or flush draws from an uberdonk who does things like check-double minraise?

I think you are way off here...

Even if the villian only has sets/2pairs:

I don't know why you wouldn't want to felt this. Villian's minbetting/tiny betting does raise an eyebrow and causes a little worry, but not nearly enough to prevent me from getting it all-in and feeling pretty good.

I agree with this statement. I don't play on Pokerstars, but on 50NL at Everest Poker this is almost always a set.

He could also have 9Ts or 78 or even Q7 from the SB. Easy stack off here.

Ha...for some reason I forgot to include 87. The situation is even better.

[Rafpig]

Easy stack off. Opponents don´t always have sets (thank God!). You are ahead of his range IMO. I agree completely with Lego.

[DaycareInferno]

i'm okay with stacking off here against the sb. his range is a lot bigger than if he had limped in from another seat.
