I know i played it bad (calling flop and then calling all-in).
But is it just bad, or unacceptably bad?

No reads on him, i was a bit bored.

at this level, an unknown check-minraising usually means strength. Seeing a shove on the next street is a clear sign to dump it.

you're right, but the dumbest thing about it is that i'd known all that beforehand, so i have no clue as to why i even had to post it. sorry to have wasted your time.

Flop there are arguments for 3betting and for calling. In position with no reads I don't mind a call, but you have to fold that turn.

Seriously! Its so funny how at the low levels whenever you see a check min raise you know they have the nuts or close too it. Most obvious online tell at micro limits imo.

Against unknown I think a call of the minraise on flop is okay.

To the other players, if he checkraises us on turn then what?

Swear, alot.

I'm not sure the check minraise is always a monster, I've seen a surprising amount of draws. One thing that is a give away is when they minraise and then either pot the turn or river, that is usually a monster. A monster that couldn't be played any worse, lol.
