all-in with two pair
 

What do you think of this all-in bet? The table was loose and passive, so I suspected I was ahead even though I got several callers on the flop.

Re: all-in with two pair
 

If they are loose like you say they are, I would probably not go all-in on the turn because even if they are willing to call a decent sized bet on the flop with wierd hands like jack 3 or maybe just overcards, they are not going to call your all in, and you want them to since you likely have the best hand. By going all-in you're risking your entire stack only to be called by hands that have you beat (except maybe a lower two pair). If I were you I would make a callable bet on the turn since you likely have the best hand. At this point you want the flush draw to call you with only a %16 percent chance of making it on the river. I think there is a lot more money to be made on this hand with little risk, but by going all-in your creating risk and eliminating money you could make from calls on the turn and river.
