Trouble from the BB
 

Another $27 PS turbo hand.

I flopped 2 pair and slow played it. Should i have raised on the flop?

Should i have just called on the turn or mini raised and then folded?

After he rasied i put him on the straight but figured i was getting huge odds to call. And he could have had a huge arrear of hands which i beat, therefore i could not fold.

Correct play?

Eww you have to raise that flop. Straight draw + flush draw, make em pay. Pot committed on the turn, gotta go with it unless you know he has a straight. Being almost sure doesn't count.

1. Raise the flop, 2. don't post results.

Yikes..that two pair is fairly hideous. Ummm....with 4 to the flop I'm pretty sure a raise of some sort is in order. The thing about this flop is that you are likely ahead but there are a ton of turn cards that should scare you (like the 7). Your opponent is playing his hand like an OESD or flush draw on the flop...he seems to like his hand even better after one of your scare cards hit (plus there is that other pesky call from behind player still to act), I think I may actually fold this [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] or call behind and desperately hope to see a showdown for cheap.

How is he pot committed on the turn? He has like 1700+ chips behind.

You are almost certainly beat here and you don't have odds to call a 4-outer. Easy fold.

Re: Trouble from the BB
 

So this is an easy fold on the turn before i raise him?

Once i reraised him should i have folded there?

The reason i did not fold is that there are so many people that play crap that they could have shown me TPTK etc

But i think you guys are right i should have raised on the flop and tried to win it there as there are alot of scare cards for me.

Re: Trouble from the BB
 

After you raise the turn so big you're doomed...I'm not sure how you can raise and still get away from your hand since he bet so much at you. Without any knowledge of the villian...I really don't mind folding since I think his turn bet says alot since the 7 appeared to help his hand.

throw in a good sized raise on the flop and if he calls and bets out on the turn either call of fold depending on the size of the bet.

I mean after SB reraises all-in. He's getting like 3.8-1 on the call.
