Just me, but I'd raise here. You have about $500 left, so you might want to consider pushing. You can't like this much with just two pair, but I don't think you can just call and give them a cheap card.

My thinking is you take your chances with a made straight, JT or a set and hope your big bet knocks your opponents off the straight and flush draws.

If you can fold to this bet, you're a better man than me.

So ... what happened?

[ggano]

I knew I wasn't going to be able to bring myself to fold 2 pair, so I went all-in, and got clobbered.

SB bets t95, Hero raises to t520 (All-In), Button calls t520, SB calls t320 (All-In).

River: (t2265) 2/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(3 players, 2 all-in) </font>

Final Pot: t2265


SB shows Th Jc (two pair, jacks and tens).
Hero shows 8c 6s (two pair, eights and sixes).
Button shows 9d 7s (straight, jack high).
Outcome: Button wins t2265.
