Raise. It's tempting to play this for overcalls, but you'll be regretting it when/if a gutshot calls and completes.

Better to laugh than to regret, I do say suh!

Re: 2 Pair - Slow Play or Raise
 

I obviously could never disagree with a raise here, it forces the field to call for two and could win the hand right there. A slowplay might not be bad because the board is very uncordinated and even if a high card comes your two pair will likely hold up against someone who makes top pair only. That being said, I'm probably raising this here to avoid any unlikely holdings drawing out on me.

Don't slowplay two pair. But more importantly, don't slowplay two pair when you might run into overcards. Don't you know that they have 9-out redraws against you if they catch a pair on the turn?

Edit: I think it's 8 outs [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Agreed (even though it's tempting on this flop). Besides, it's already 3.75 BBs. Win them and then all you have to do is NOT lose any more BBs for the next 99 hands and that's a pretty good win rate [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

grunching....
I go for overcalls here. I would raise the turn though.

Re: 2 Pair - Slow Play or Raise
 

Call this flop. Right now it's small enough to slowplay and not worth folding everyone else out as draws you're afraid of are longshots. If it get checkraised, go for a 3bet or cap on this flop.

Start firing on that turn regardless of what falls.
