Hey guys. What's the best play here OTT? Obviously never folding but between call and raise? I think raise stands to fold out a lot of worse hands but I think we're sometimes getting called by two pair, maybe putting us on some sort of turned combo draw? CO can also have better sets, and both players could have turned the straight with JT so we have far from the nuts. I guess calling is the only good option here but it feels like there aren't many good river cards for us...

Is raising the flop better than calling?

Only a few hands on villains so no reads.

I would throw in a few squeezes every once in awhile with a caller behind otb probably reping a wide range. I always would raise to around $1.50 here OTF. Flop nails at least one of their ranges. OTT if you raise to $2 you have a easy AI OTR. I expect a good amount of the time you stack someone with this board.

So, I ended up shoving turn - it felt like the best way of getting value from a two-pair hand. I thought shoving would come across as less nutty than a smaller raise which would still have pot committed me.

BTN called with JT and I felt like a bit of donk. Not sure I could have folded on the brick river which came down anyway so I guess the money was always going in. Just one of those ones where I wasn't sure to class it as a cooler or bad play.

Definitely raise on the flop. No reason to slowplay with possible broadway draws.
