Default Re: 2 Pair on the Bubble, Deep Stacks

Well, i agree that your PF raise sucks. raising itself isn't that bad, but the amount is horrible. you're building a bigger pot with a not very good hand, and give yourself ZERO chance to take it down PF. after a limper, raising less than 4BB is usually bad IMO. limping would be fine too with this hand, but i probably prefer raising if he's really loose, meaning your Ahigh is almost certianly good.

however, after that, i don't think the check behind is THAT bad on the flop, provided that you play the turn MUCH differntly... bet BIG, and possibly even push if a scary looking card like that comes. they'll call you with all kinda of junk thinking you're on a steal. and also by checking you'll give the LAG a chance to bet into you as a bluff sometimes, and when he does, of course you push then, esp if the turn is bad at all, like this one.

so yeah, the river is probably close though, but likely a fold is correct, however you NEVER should have gotten yourself into a spot like that.
