Misuse of Protecting 2nd Pair

Sorry for all the hands. Last one for awhile.

Pot too small to go for the protection move without redraws?

looks okay to me, but be careful when doing these types of plays.

as a general guideline you gotta consider these things

1) texture of the board
2) the bettor
3) position of the bettor
