Bad, imho.
I don't like bottom two in unraised pots, but these guys...this seems like an auto call/eval.

Matties, I'm putting in a re-raise here and wouldn't mind getting all in. Folding is really bad. I think we're ahead so often here, hopefully villain limps 88 or something.

at least call with top two o.O, if the turn bricks like a T

or something I might get it in. Maybe he has got A2 or 76, thats unfortunate, but you still got outs than

It looks more like an overpair to me. like 66-99 or TT depending on his aggression factor.

I was not too happy to play 2 pair on this board for a big pot.
But looking back I think a fold is bad, because he most likely does not have a made hand that beats us, unless he has A2 or a set.

I also reraise. I think he has pp's here more than he has straights or sets, and i also think that pair+straight hands like 56 will pop up occassionally, as well as random flush draws like Q9dd. You are very ahead of his range and need to reraise to get full value and not give any draws the odds to be here.
