Default Re: Two Pair

I don't like, however, shoving your entire stack into the pot (if it's a gross overbet) when you hit 2 weak pairs on the flop. Unless you're at a low buy-in level, I think you're setting up to get called by better hands too often to make this a porofitable move.

Even though it isn't ideal, pushing with smaller 2 pairs is almost certainly profitable only becasue people so rarely have you beat and you do get called by worse hands a significant portion of the time.

Its basically like pushing preflop with JJ early. Its probably a slightly +EV move overall, its just not nearly as good as playing it normally.
