correct play here- he could have limped in with any of those pocket pairs, or J10 (Even 98 is possible). If he has the guts to go all in with just a draw or just top pair, you are gonna have to have a damn good read on him. My guess is J10 trying to keep away the flush/full house.

If you consider that a "difficult" decision then perhaps dropping down a level or two is in order...or maybe some sleep.

I either bet stronger on the flop(full pot) or checkraise very aggressively. I want to take the pot on the flop....right now before I get myself broken.

He did bet almost the full pot on the flop (pot was 5 dollars, he bet 4 dollars). Then on the turn he gets re-raised twice the pot. What kind of hand do you put villian on that would make him raise twice the pot? I think most of the time, hero is beat here (and in the rare times he is ahead, villian has outs on him). I think his play here is just right on all streets.

I figured the fold was in order, but I had been running dry at all 3 of my tables -- and when that happens I usually post a hand to make sure I'm not just playing too weakly.

Thanks guys.

What's so difficult? NEVER go broke in limped pots.

All you have is 2 pair. Not even top 2. Turn makes made hands from 56 or TJ. You're drawing to your boat. You're behind. Fold and wait for better spot.
