Default Re: top two in unraised pot on BB

I don't mind going to the felt with top two at these stakes because people are in there mixing it up with a lot worse. That being said, if I knew the opponent was somewhat reasonable, I'm probably re-raising to $3 and folding to a push. People here aren't likely to get tricky with a set. Therefore, if he just calls my raise, I'm pushing the turn and expecting to be ahead of either a draw, a strong ace, or a weaker two pair. If he pushes it in on the flop, I'm giving him credit for a set (obviously most likely 66) and folding.

suppose you call and a scary card comes
check/fold ?

[/ QUOTE ]

my line of reasoning would be:

turn play #1 - Scare Card hits
we lead the turn for $2, he:
1A - folds; yay
1B - raises; we can fold
1C - calls; he's probably got us beat 5 ways. check/fold the river

turn play #2 - No scare card
2A - folds; yay?
2B - raises; he probably has a set or AK...flip a coin twice - heads-heads push, otherwise fold
2C - calls; he's on a draw or has a strong A. there's an outside chance that he has a set. i'd probably check/call the river here.
