Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets t760 (All-In)</font>, Hero ???

I'm thinking I possibly should have pushed on the flop, but his raise seemed weird to me. Is folding too weak here? I figured I'd call him down hoping he'd keep betting KQ or AK, but the Q made me think the only hand I could possibly be ahead of was AK.

I'd call the all in on the turn, you are pot stuck and you have outs to a better two pair than villaim may have.

But yah, push back him on the flop and if he has a set or KJ you bust. It sucks and it happens but at lower limits youll stack off to many ppl to fold AA with action HU.

I don't think I'm committed against 2 pair... this is a Stars $55 so the stacks are pretty deep. What hands do you put my opponent on so that a turn call is profitable?

3 bet the flop if you plan on laying this down at any point.

Easy, easy call.

I'd rather get my money in as a likely favorite on the flop, so I am probably pushing there as opposed to the tough decision you now have. And I'm probably still not making the laydown on the turn.
