Actually, I have 2 pair.

Crud, so you do. Given that, and that you're not going to fold it when there's this much in the pot, I'd go ahead and push to fold out hands that can draw out on you. There's quite a few cards that we don't want to see on the river and the pot is plenty big enough to take down right now.

Ok, this is what I actually did on the hand. I'll post results sometime tomorrow if people ask.

I hate the minraise on the flop. You give the draws odds to call and let him off cheap when he's drawing slim. Raise to 800 or so and push on your next action.

Thanks, I agree that is where my biggest mistake in the hand was.
