i hate playing bottom 2 this aggressively OOP. It's the most deceptive hand, you think its solid but many times it's not. It's my biggest money loser and I try to keep the pots small in this senario. I flat call flop. Given action I don't think you're ahead here.

I don't know how play goes at these tables so take it with a grain of salt.

typically I call the minraise as its fairly drawless and I 2/3 pot the turn and fold to a second raise.

try not to build pot oop with bottom two. Will only lose you money in the long term. Looks like your behind on this one.

I'm gonna go against what the others say. When I flop bottom 2 with a BB special on an uncoordinated board like that, I play it fast. If he has a set, so be it. J8/J3? I don't think so. I'm getting showed AJ/KJ more often than not.

I like it. People at this level go nuts with top pair. If you lose to a set or J8 or J3, o well.

Btw, i had almost the exact same hand today, 84o in the SB vs the BB on a board of 48J3K at UB .10BB too! Anyways, the money went in on the flop and BB shows J3. Did u lose to J3 also?

Wtf is with everyone saying they "don't want to build a pot" with bottom two pair? Since when?

i would have just pushed after the reraise, playing these limits i try to win as few $20 pots as possible.

3$ hand at this limit are not bad to win, and pushing this flop he will not call, what a call with 79 though, because people will chase the gutshot like a vegas dream on these tables

Oh and, I really don't like going broke in nothing pots, so I try to keep these small. I play it like TPTK usually

he's a moron who slow played AA before the flop..that's what this looks like to me.
