This kind of hand I have trouble playing. A PFR. I have 2nd pair. I knew that MP2 was an aggressive player and would bet the flop regardless, and that he would check the turn if he didn't have anything. That is why I called the flop bet. I'm really not comfortable calling this flop bet because what do I do if he bets again on the turn? Lay it down? I didn't bet the river because the SB had me worried of a weak ace.

Hand one: I bet the river, not the turn. 2 pair on the board, no one has offered a bet yet, your ace kicker is likely to be the best hand.

Hand 2: I think you should let this go on the flop. The pot is not very big and you likely have the worst hand with few outs and no reasonable draw.

Fold QKo UTG.

I think it depends on the table whether to fold or raise preflop. I should have caught the preflop play though. My bad [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. I think that KQo UTG is EITHER a fold or a raise, and not a limp regardless.
