Default Re: What to do with bottom 2 pair?

Firstly, don't forget TAG has 4 cards, not just two. Other than that, sounds like you've talked yourself into calling. You mention strong considerations to deviate from normally solid play. I still might not, but I just don't like calling and taking those sorts of chances. When I do, even in a situation like this one, I regret it most of the time. Keep in mind that though this may work on one particular hand or another, what really matters is if you will make money with the play in the same context over (theoretically) limitless iterations.

I also really don't like your hand for a raise preflop. It's just jacks (weak unless you hit) and jt of hearts. Not enough for me to cold call a raise. To cold call a raise I need to see 3 decent hands. You have like 2.2.
