do you mean preflop?
if so, the players in the hand had already called, so there is no chance they will fold to a raise. that almost never happens in limit poker flop games preflop.
not only that, it's a fairly bad starting hand, although there are many worse, so i don't really want to voluntarily put in any more chips than i have to.
postflop, i bet my two pair on the flop to try and take the pot down. it was kind of a bluff, but sometimes i am ahead. if i am called, it's unlikely i am ahead though. but i do protect my hand by betting.
it was a good flop to try this on because it's unlikely to have helped my opponents
