Default Re: standard? 2pair on montone board

I think the thing you're missing here is that you're either slightly ahead or way behind in this situation. I call the miniraise and pray for an A or 9. I'm not going broke here without a hell of a good read. Often he has the flush or a set. And when he doesn't have that he'll have something like A-10 with a spade in which case he has something like 11 outs. It's just not worth going broke in such a marginal situation. If you had a set we might be able to talk about it, but not just two pair facing a c/miniraise.

And furthermore, the vast majority of time that you go all-in and are called, you are beat. So I don't see much reason to push all-in here.
