$10-25 NL - two pair facing a lot of resistance
Been playing for a couple of hours, getting a good run of cards and winning a lot of pots without a showdown (except one fairly large one where I stacked some guy with a mighty J-7 s00ted), so I have a pretty laggy image.
The opponent is a good tricky player, one of the better players at the table. His range of hands here can be pretty big, starting from a suited connector, small pair, aces, etc. Onto the hand ... Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em, $25 BB (10 handed) converter BB ($2365) UTG ($2500) UTG+1 ($7429) UTG+2 ($6522) MP1 ($5672) MP2 ($2657) MP3 ($3682) CO ($2275) Hero ($4647) SB ($2277.50) Preflop: Hero is Button with 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. UTG calls $25, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+2 calls $25, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls $25, MP3 calls $25, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls $25, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB checks. Flop: ($160) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(6 players)</font> BB checks, UTG bets $160, UTG+2 folds, MP2 calls $160, MP3 folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $450</font>, BB folds, UTG goes all-in for $2315, MP2 folds, Hero ???. Final Pot: $1220 Ok ... so now what? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] -ZeroHour

Call in a heartbeat? [/ QUOTE ] I probably count to ten and then call. Hope he had aces.

Re: $10-25 NL - two pair facing a lot of resistance
I played a similar hand today, when I checked my top 2 from the BB intending to raise the 2 aggressive players behind me. One bet, the other raised to about 1/3 my stack, I happily pushed, and was shown a set of 3s and a fold...feck. Sound familiar?

Re: $10-25 NL - two pair facing a lot of resistance
This is such an easy laydown don't fall in love with your two pair, instead look at how the action went.
He bet you raised, and now he raises again!! The 3rd raise means business, you are most likely up against a set of 3's.

Clubs dont cross your mind? If I had clubs and a gutshot I would make the exact same play as the villain.

Re: $10-25 NL - two pair facing a lot of resistance
that's not really the time to make the all in, especially not in a hand that has been limp limp limp.
If there was an open raise then I could see you making your play of going all in with clubs and a gutshot because there is some equity in the fact that you could make your opponent to lay down a higher pair for the fear of drawing dead. If I had bottom set..... i'd...... i don't know what i'd do i'd probably muck it too. But you have to understand that I'm mucking it in the face of this exact situation. but if I had Middle set I'm calling here 100% of the time.
