Vs unknown
What hands would take this line? Just so confusing.. I put him on a flush draw but the pot bet OTT seems just so strange. What do you guys think?

MW flop raise generally strong IMO. Kind of rare he does this with a draw in MW pot IMO.

Feels so gross to actually do it but I agree. I'm raising 88 and definitely limping 66.

I can't agree that post flop was wp. Most of the times when villians min-raise flops they continue to bet large on turns. If you don't have any reads on villian I would say just give it up vs that min-raise unless you plan to do something other than fold vs. their turn bets.

Hmm, I've been iso raising 66+ in these spots. If the limper folds a decent amount to flop cbets, I think an iso raise has to be superior to limping behind. I suppose against unknowns it may be better to limp behind with smallish pocket pairs, not sure on this one.
