Bad play or bad beat?

Is preflop really an automuck? Button could be raising a lot of things here.

range?

I think it is a rather easy call in the bb when you know it is going to be 5 handed.

I think that you played the hand just fine.

MP2 most probably filled up on the river but you can´t fold for one more bet with your two-pair.

Good point. I haven't done any math as of yet to figure out if the call is good, but I'd imagine he could be raising any ace, any pocket pair above fives, any two cards above ten, etc.

Yea at the end theres around 24BB in the pot to his 3.2:1 odds off the flop so he'll make the hand 1 in 4 hands. According to Lee Jones, author of the great book "Winning Low-Limit Holdem" says to raise as much as possible and call as many raises as possible on the flop to give you the correct odds on the river. Two pair should be played aggressively, but if you're getting all these raises and calls, you should have slowed a little, since it wasnt top 2 pair.

Indeed, QJ...but I'm not sure why his call on the turn was correct?

between this thread and the KQo one, I'm positive you are out of your league right now at 1/2 .. drop to .5/1 or lower

get a copy of Small Stakes Hold Em, spend time reading and responding to threads here

as for this hand, getting 7/1 on the call its fine,
checkraise the flop

I second this. You're going to get crushed at 1/2 if you haven't mastered the basics of the game yet.

Definitely agree with you after looking at hands from yesterday - I've no idea what I am doing... :P Will read SSH a second time and keep reading posts here

Thanks!
