Sorry, no reads at the time. Should I be raising the turn here, since probably I'm against some smaller 2 pair or just a pair in these situations more often than a jack. I decided to take the WA/WB line and call down. Too passive?

Seems to me that out of the six possible two-pair hands yours ranks 5th.

You have outs and that makes raising the turn extremely risky.

Your unknown 1-2 opponent has been raised preflop, raised on the flop, seen an ace hit the turn for you, and now he is still coming with a Broadway 4-straight on the board?

I'm scared.

Like SW said, your two pair is almost as small as it can get.

The hands I would expect you to be beating that he would play this way are AX/images/graemlins/club.gif, KX/images/graemlins/club.gif, and QT. Raising the turn is not worth the risk of getting 3-bet by the nuts.

Thanks guys. I'm assuming the river call is okay?
