Re: 2 pair againgst TAG/LAG
 

Which style is villain? TAG, or LAG? Against a LAG it might be appropriate to 3-bet the turn. Against a TAG I would probably play it the same.

[i]Edit: I play $3/$6 so disregard if my advice is too low-level thinking for this game.

If you get capped you're not going to feel comfortable laying this down and you'll wish you had shown down cheaper. I think you played this fine against either a LAG/TAG. A bigger two pair is just too much a possibility with this board. CAll it down, hope for the best, expect to lose--but know this calldown is +EV.

I only have stats on Vilalin. No other reads.
VPIP = 30
PFR = 20
AF = 3

PS: That you play 3/6 doesn't matter. Just wrote what you think is best and it is up to the readers to read critically. Btw, I'm down 400BB on 10/20 so I suuuck. Maybe... I still keep hoping I don't suck.

Being on a bad run like that I think its especially important to show this down and not push too hard. Plus, if you were planning to fold to a cap after a 3-bet you lose your chance to fill up against his two pair if thats waht he has.
I hope you start running better, its such a mindtrip I know [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img].
