Any way to better protect this 2 pair hand??

I like my flop bet here. I'm thinking maybe I should have called the raise on the flop and checkraised the turn to knock some wankers out. What do you guys think? Also, the preflop call is ok in a 5 handed pot right?

No call preflop here, this is a fold. Why? Because the only ways you can win with his hand are getting real lucky on the flop like you did, and a low flush...you're losing money in the long-run with this call.

You played it pretty well. Maybe go for a check-raise on the flop, but your line was fine. The runner, runner is just poker.

No. You should have some kind of a straight-flush combination. I'd call with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] or 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] but not with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
