Two Pair

I used to love two pair but now I think its a cursed hand after losing with it so many times.

I would get excited after finding two pair on the flop but would keep losing with it. To trips, to a straight, to a flush you name it.

After I stopped to think about it I lost faith in it. After all it is only one step above one pair.

I have also seen lots of people get rolled with it, especially by trips.

Anyone else have feelings about two pair?

All depends what the board looks like, but I tend to agree.
That one time when I had AK and flopped AK7 and lost to a river flush sticks in my mind. I even tried to scare draws away by raising bets on the flop.

Still have a long way to go before I master the game [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

So you're saying that having 55 on a board of JJQKA is a bad thing???

I think you must be the smartest poker player EVAR!

Whats so good about it? You are vulnerable to anyone holding a higher pair or any card from 10-A.

The odds of getting beat seem pretty high with the Jacks as your high pair.

You are a fool. Go away and don't open your mouth in public again.

I like two pair a lot more than one pair, but not as much as I like trips.
