For cash games I was just wondering if you ever hit a two pair and low draw with a non-threatening board is it good to push the pot hard?
of course it depends who you're up against and what not, but is two pair with a decent low draw pretty strong off the flop?

Yeah even multiway its pretty decent. Your high hands don't have to be as strong as in omaha high. Kind of a geberal question but HU you would cr or bet out and get it in unless the villain is an uber nit or you are super deep.

Depends on many factors, but something like:
A2k8 on a 58k rainbow board is very strong & gets stronger the less opponents in the pot.

yeah usually this is a solid hand, especially if you have something like

A249 on a A59 board, its unlikely anyone has a better low since the A came out, and 2 pair there is very strong
