[Irieguy]

When the action is to you, there are 45 chips in the pot and you have 685 chips. When you raise to 85, you are likely to end up seeing a flop with 200+ chips in the pot and 600 chips behind, while out of position against at least one player.

You have manipulated the pot in such a way as to make it as difficult as possible to play.

Post-flop, this hand illustrates an interesting concept: sometimes you should represent a hand that you do not hold... even if your holding is strong. Just because you have 2 pair and hate it, doesn't mean you have to let your opponent know that.
