A lot of poor players min raise pre with mid pairs. I'd feel a lot more comfortable calling if he had put in a "proper" raise pre-flop.

Against an unknown opponent, and because you're both 165BB deep, this wouldn't be the worst fold ever.

easy call, anyone who folds this is playing scared money, double stacked or not. if he has a set, oh well. would be a strange play with a set anyway, its one thing to scare off straight and flush draws (8d10d maybe), but if he does have a set, its mid or top set, you want play. id guess some sort of a flush draw or possible even an overpair.

very easy call. He has AA here a lot more than he has a set given his minraise preflop.

At $1/2, a min raise pre is more often a sign of a poor player holding a mid/low pair, than a poor player holding AA.

For everyone who says it's an easy call, how many BB would you both have to have in order for you to have to think about your decision?

It's actually a pretty good play if he's holding top set given the "easy call" responses.
