Flop (3 players, $2.50) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] - Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] - A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Turn (2 players, $8.50) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Villain bets 3.50, Hero folds

Opponent is loose-passive. This is his only ch-raise I have on him and I have 200 hands on him. When I think about it now it seems like a terrible fold. Should we ever be afraid of 99 here?

How do you handle two pair hands against aggression?
I have trouble playing them when they get very aggresive.

Re: Weak-tight two pair?
 

horribly weak tight. I call the flop and raise the turn

Re: Weak-tight two pair?
 

I know that every hand is a new hand, but prior to this I had been seeing alot of sets against me. That really gets into your head.

What do you put him on?
I think he most likely has AK, AJ-9. Could be Q9 even.

What if he had made a potsized bet on the turn? Still raise him then?

Re: Weak-tight two pair?
 

No way you can fold this. At this level if he's got a set you pay it off in a heartbeat. I like the flop raise, but raise more than just the minimum. After he leads the turn I just raise all in. If he checks the turn you value bet the turn for 3/4 of the pot. DO NOT FOLD THIS HAND EVER.

Re: Weak-tight two pair?
 

I didn't raise.
I got check-raised.
That was the action that surprised me.
Getting check-raised by a passive player is always scary.
But he may have picked up on the fact that I almost always CB. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Thanks for the reminder that I should never fold here.
And afterwards I totally agree.
Top two pair against BB and a limper.

On a board like this you play top two pair you like it is the nuts?
Especially against only 2 opponents.

yeah, pretty much, if he has 99 I'll pay him off, np. I see A9 and worse aces a lot more

Re: Weak-tight two pair?
 

Raise turn all in. You had him beat. This is a terrible fold.

Re: Weak-tight two pair?
 

I agree that this fold is probably my worst yet. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

What if I had AJ?
Call the flop and fold the turn?
Or is that too weak-tight as well?

At this level it is very rare that players bet large bets when they are passive.
Usually big bets = very big hands.
On the other hand if he had the set he would have slowplayed it probably as that is the default play of sets at this level.

If you think you are beaten, you are probably beaten... Excellent fold!!! well done!..(You should fold this hand on the flop)
