KK on paired Flop, check-raised [45-man]

The BB seems not like a bad player. Off course his gap between VPIP and PFR is too big.
A min check raise looks always strong in my opinion, but it’s tough for him to beat us. Only 33 and 99 are hands he could have that we lose against and I would most likely go broke here to protect our hand against flush draws.

Hero calls.

Two 7s on the flop, so it´s unlikely that he´s go a x-7 combo. Those, 99 and AA are beating us.

Call and see the turn. I think I would call flop and turn and jam river.

No, he's not bad but he seemed unpredictable and out of the blue aggressive. He 3-betted around 9% against virtually unknowns which i find a bit high (at least for me) and post-flop was stubborn. My thinking was if he has a flush draw, i'm inclined to risk it to get at least 2 bets from him, given he will mostly have garbage but couldn't resist not betting his junk on Turn.
Anyway, thanx guys

I like this one. So many people still have a standard cbet sizing, no matter what the flop comes.

1. What this check-raise usually means?

This is the most interesting question, and for observant readers (or posters) on the forum, this is where the real value comes from imo when comparing experiences with eachother. Its cool to discuss and together try to build up a feeling for player pool tendencies on shared stakes. There are actually a lot of them when I think of it, and I think you will have surely encountered them yourselves too:
- an open shove in the early stages...
- a limp shove when iso'd...
- a min donk bet...

And this one, the min check raise on such a board, is probably also one. I think it rarely means villain has got air. Nor do I think it is an overpair a lot or a weakish draw. It's probably a 7x most of the time combined with a fair amount of strong draws,... it hits villains range a lot better than ours.

Would be interesting to see what you all think. I'm thinking of running a HM filter on this, trying to see if I can find a pattern.
