Hero ???

I figured I would wait for the turn to make a move, but the turn was the worst card for me. What do I do with my 2 pair now?

Go back in time and bet the flop.

Ok so I go back and bet the flop and get raised/called by anyone with a heart draw or an 8. The turn brings both draws and what do I do, bet and fold to a raise? I don't like it that much.

Check Raise The Flop/Bet The Flop..Raise the Flop..
You have a flush and three to the straight. Waiting for the turn is wrong.


Now that you have waited, I guess you can call, I can't bet into that card. Depending on the action you could fold too...pots not too big.

[Evan]

So you got called/raised by worse hands, what a tragedy. You're betting the turn either way, there's no other play.

I dont understand bet/raising the flop, it does nothing to protect my hand and I am out of position.

This is a spot where you really can't protect, so you should be jamming the pot since you have a strong hand.

[Bluffoon]

You probably have the best hand on the flop. Even if you cant drop the draws you want to charge them all you can. And if you dont have the best hand you can find out for half-price.

Im confused about the turn. Are their three or four people in the pot? If it is just you and two other opponents I would lean towards betting out. You have ten outs if you are raised. With three opponents I probably would check and call for the the draw to the FH as your odds of being against the made hand increase and the overcalls you may be able to get can build the pot if you hit.

Somehow if I failed to bet the flop, misclick etc...I don't have the balls to bet into that turn card.
