Re: missed the draw but hit 2pair instead
 

I'd definetly check call this on the river, UTG has been saying he's better than one pair the whole hand, but he could have a badly played AA or KK or A9, so I think a check-call is in order.

pot the flop, the way it went, raise it

and don't bet that river

Re: missed the draw but hit 2pair instead
 

Flop: Lead for $4. Given how it played, I raise it to $7.

Turn: Fine.

River: I like a small bet, but am folding to this raise rather quickly.

OOP with a baby flush draw? I don't see deuces helping me too much here. I much prefer to check/call with a marginal draw OOP.

if you don't think the deuces will help then why did u bet the river?

and without reads how do you not see the deuces helping after a min-bet and a bunch of cold callers?

a pair+flush draw with that action is not a marginal draw imho

Re: missed the draw but hit 2pair instead
 

I think you need to get more $$$ in on the flop while you have a great hand. Pair plus flush draw = almost the nuts. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Either lead it, or given the action, c/r it up. I c/r alot from the blinds so I would probably c/r it. I have a hand with potential and I wouldn't mind continuing, but I wouldn't mind taking it down right there either. There's a very good chance river is a c/f, but it's only a c/c at best.
