When I have to call there is 2200 in the pot and im pretty sure the limper is going to call (nobody limp reraise at this level) so that's 400 with 2600 in the pot from the big blind and my stack is kind of big (ok reading it back I don't have 20bb so its not exactly big). I thought I was right to call, was I right?

When the flop come I make two pair so I bet the pot with the intention of taking it right now. Should I check? Im pretty sure I was right there, there's 3000 in the pot and I don't want to give any free card.

Fold this preflop unless you know that villian is stealing a lot and then you should resteal

[JoeyJoJo Shabadu]

Yep... and if you don't hit it hard dump it but you have odds to call any two almost.

You can't check. The overbet of the pot..? If someone has an up and down draw.. you're taking away their odds to call with a 1/2 or 3/4 pot sized bet too. But yes I like it... but you're committed here now anyway... shove?

If UTG beat you he has 66 here... unless he's playing wayyyyyy too many hands and limped with 57 suited.

Well Villain made a min raise in EP so that's definitly not a steal, I though he must have had some kind of a hand but if I hit it hard I could bust him and I was getting a pretty good price.

It's true I didn't even wonder of what UTG limped with but after hitting the flop I wasn't folding anyway.

getballed-

You're folding with 6.5-1 to call a min raise from the BB? I think I choose to defend here. This is the kinda flop I'm looking for or else I dump it.
