How aggressively do you guys play two pair on the flop when your first to act with say 4 to act behind you. For this example lets say it wasnt rose preflop. How would you play top 2, top and bottom, and bottom pair??

I know im leaving out players playing styles, so for sake of discussion theyre all good solid players that tend to be on the aggressive side.

First to act in an unraised pot, 4 left to act?

It depends on an awful lot of things. How strong are your redraws? How draw heavy is the board? Is your 2 pair with AK or 73? That makes a difference don't you think? What are the stack sizes - i.e how quickly will you or your opponent become committed? How is your image?

Generally speaking, I don't go to war with anything but a strong top two when I am out of position.

As Tilt said it depends on loads of factors. I usually won't bet or raise with top two unless I have some other kind of draw to go with it, or unless it's headsup or 3-handed against some weak-tighties.
The texture of the board is important too.

As was already stated, it depends on the texture of the board.
Top 2 pair Aces/Kings is a lot better for obvious reasons than top 2 pair Tens/Fives.
