Default $114: 88 vs LAG

I find it very strange that he min raised 1/6 of his stack, looks like he is hoping someone comes over the top.

Unless he has a small pp which he plans on dumping to a RR but I can't see him folding very often here.

1010 I push too. How bad is a call here with 99 and 88?

I don't ever see him folding to a shove here. It just seems like he wants action. Plus he is making this move in a relatively early position. I'm folding 88 and 99 here but TT is a shove.

Do you know if his minraise is standard? I shove 99, and probably 88, just because he has a loose PFR and you may have some FE.

No notes but the min raise seems to be pretty typical from a LAG. I just didn't know if I had enough FE since he's close to committed.
