Default 5/10 Flop top two, play too fast?

5/10 6-max
Hero had a run of getting no cards for quite some time, so probably looks like the rock of gibraltar. I have been quite aggressive of late winning pots without showing cards. In fact, I dont think I've made it to a showdown since I sat down.

Hero is BB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Preflop
UTG limps, mp limps, co limps, sb folds, hero checks

Flop (40)
9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Hero leads for 25, utg calls, mp folds, co makes it 75, hero makes it 250 to go.

Too fast? Alternate lines? Is this just fine (given that the flop is drawtastic)?

2 pair is not the kind of hand you want to slowplay

Looks pretty good, get ready to dump if UTG doesn't ditch his hand, and the 280 guy has you committed anyway. Spike a 9 or 8 for good measure ;]

yeah, CO looks like he's ready to part with his stack. your line is fine...you don't need UTG to create a three-way pot (1k behind) with CO all in. CO's stack is close enough to a pot raise anyway...

if UTG still holds cards after your raise though, it might be time to break out the kleenex.

You dont want to lose your stack in an unraised pot. That being said, you have top 2 and it looks like you played it fine.

UTG thought for a long time before folding, and shorty also passed his hand.

Looks great to me, two pair is way to dangerous to play slow here. I very rarely don't play it very fast. With the cutoff's stack size, I'd like take away any odds fot the cutoff and try to run it with the raiser.
