2 pair on coordinated board.....

I can't seem to get the converter to work but have all the relevent details. Iwas just moved to this table like 3 hands prior so really no relevent reads as of yet.

Pokerstars NL $10+1

BB's 50/100

LP (2855) limps
Button (2240) limps
Hero -BB (2340) checks J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Flop (350) J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

How should I proceed with this hand?

Given the coordinated board, I'd be happy to take it down right here. I'd make a pot-sized bet to price out the draws. I'd be very wary if I got any callers.

Anyone else have any opinions?

agree with first reply. take a shot at the pot. callers and you shut down.

What if the turn totally blanks, like an offsuit deuce?

push the flop and hope some1 with an OESD feels like gambling, if you take it down right there, great.

This kind of stuff has been happening to me a lot recently...twice with 109 in the BB the flop has came like 3109r, I push and someone with a j8 calls. has worked 1/2 the time as a 7 came on the turn for the one with the jack.

Pushing the flop here is a big mistake because you push out the hands that you're ahead of and get called by those that have you beat. A better line would be to just bet 300 or so and then continue with caution if anyone calls you.

interesting.. with two limpers i'm not willing to risk all my chips on two pair versus an already made hand. QK is certainly a limping hand, pocket 9s, 78s etc.

while it's possible for people to be on the draw with AQ etc. made hands are definitely a possibility, pushing all-in on a coordinated board is NOT my ideal play.

Well I did lead out with a ~pot sized bet of 300 into a 350 pot. MP limper folds button miniraises me to 600. uh oh!

He's not really pushing me out and i have no reads on him. Now what. Should i come over the top and push or call and proceed carefully. I deicided to just call and see what comes off on the turn.

Turn card is a 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

Now what? Pot has ~1500 and i have 1700 behind.

if you made a proper sized bet on the flop and people are calling you can't be sure if they are on the draw or not. likely I check here and see what my opponent does, if he already has a made hand is he going to check here or is he going to fire at me hoping for the crying call?

very difficult board to play and i'm sure there is no one right answer
