All-in with 2-pair and no read

[FreakDaddy]

Only at table for about one rotation, and I had no read on villian. Anything look funny. Obviously if I'm calling the turn bet I'm pushing... I think it looks pretty standard.

Looks okay to me. Villain's min-checkraise on the flop is worrisome (a lot of times this seems to mean 2 pair), so he could have a set of 9s or 7s, but he could just as easily have something like KQ or a midPP trying to snap off a continuation bet. Wouldn't expect this to be a draw, but the flush didn't hit anyways so I think more often than not you are ahead here.
