Obviously I am still not folding top-two here, but if only had AK TPTK or something, it would be much easier to get away.
I don't know if that is considered results oriented thinking, but I always feel players hands are more defined after limp/calling.
TPTK I could easily get away from here, no thought required. Top two was a little different.
I think the difference could have been avoided if I had raised more preflop as everyone has suggested. Making it 18+ and getting a call really restricts his hands to small pairs more.
FWIW I did try to get something out of him by showing him my hand and asking him if it was any good. His responses were, in a dry monotone "you have two pair" "it's your decision to make"
I was hoping for something a little more one way or the other but got very middle of the road responses. I suppose he did move around a little, getting something off his table next to him after that which would suggest comfort, therefore, strength.
