how to play bottom 2 pair
 

No reads but I have a feeling Villain in BB is a LAG. I did not think this when I limped so limping in the sb is possibly wrong. I am faced with a lot of resistant but it looks like I am up against a higher 2 pair.

DO you call down the turn tho, or do you check raise and fold to a 3 bet?

It's a VERY draw heavy board, and MP1 could correctly be capping with a big draw. I think you played fine. I'm showing down unless the board gets really ugly and it becomes obvious I'm beat. Your opponents will have AK, AQ, and draws here often enough for your two pair to be good.
