"MP2 calls t350" has me stumped. This might be the only situation that could get me to think about laying down two pair. I think I am still pushing here though.

This is definitely read-dependent. I would push - you're ahead enough to make this worthwhile. I think you will get called many times by single-pairs with draws (e.g. KQ). KJ is the only hand to really be afraid of (doubt there is a Q10 out there and KK, JJ or 99 would have probably raised), and if you lose to KJ, then load up another.

my thought process was, "wahh! i got two pair! push!" and that's what i did. i think pushing is a chunk better than folding - i'll often get it in as a moderate favorite (e.g., vs KQ) with a great price and occassionaly as a bigger favorite (AK) or scoop now.

in retrospect, i was thinking a call might have been good. i can fold pretty safely if a T/Q/K/club hit, and push if they don't. then i avoid the problem of these crazy combo draws, and between the two, i think they've got most of those outs covered so i'm ok folding.
