Good fold on the river.

I raise the flop prob 3x. If he's getting sticky with Jack-X that runout is gonna screw you over regardless though.

Then I lick my chops at the prospect at getting in to a pot with the button who is jackass enough to open limp the button preflop.

I like taking a low variance line here with a vulnerable hand. Bottom two pair is a dangerous hand - often you play it fast OTF and get raped OTR as you did here.

Yeah you could stack off here but you're pretty deep stacked and it's unnecessarily high variance. Especially given button limper, I'd like to involve him in the pot and increase value - really hoping he limped AA

Raise OTT. SB seems to like his hand, so lets get some value now. He might not bet or even call OTR if it is a scarecard.

Guess i prefer a check raise on flop, if he is doing a wrong call and got a good card, like this river 3, theres nothing u can do. Nice fod

I don't mind flatting on the flop. But you must raise on the turn coz this two pair is vulnerable.

Thanks, man! Good to be back in forums

I still have to limit the time what I can spend on comp, but feeling good this week, so why not writing some responses and try to get back in business ?

as you know I can't play that much yet, but reading and writing keeps me updated what is going on in tournament poker.
