I have played over 15k hands on microstakes now and i analyzed my hands to see where i should improve. I noticed i lost lots of hand when i had top pair but vilian had 2 pair.
I find it really hard to know when someone has 2p. The problem is that i see lots of people do the same thing with pocket pairs, even if there is an overcard on table.
For example this hand: i played it yesterday

did i play this well or should i have raised this hand because i had the button?
Should i fold on his reraise? The guy was playing aggressive and was 30/20/12
so i really didn't know what he had... few hands before i've seen him playing the same action when he had 88 on a flop of A73.
