This hand is from a while ago, MP1 is 24/1.5 over 75 hands and Button is 36/5 after 36. Check raise on the flop, any good? What to do after the min-raise?

I see the villan with KQ, or AJ here. I call and push the turn.Anyone with me? I see the guy folding to a push here.

Do you think he will call the push on the turn unless he improves in which case he will be winning?

I think i would push there

I'd push...expect to see the draw or TP or a worse two pair more often than you see a set of 2's.

Pot the flop. The minraise is tough. Against some players this is a fold, against others it's a push.

I think if we push on the flop the villian will call with a slighty wider range of hands thinking perhaps hero is on a flush draw as opposed to calling and pushing the turn.

Easy push. He'll pay you off with a worse hand much more often than he'll show you a set.

There are a lot of turn cards that can scare you(or villian) and kill your action and prevent you from executing a turn push. Push the flop for this reason.
