Two limpers pair their door

Party 20/40, ante 2, bring-in 5.

The 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] brings in, the 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] call, I complete with (9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img])A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. The 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] fold, T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] calls, and the bring-in calls. I catch two pair on fourth with the 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], but the 4 and 5 both pair their doors. The pair of 5s bets the maximum, and the pair of 4s calls. I'm pretty sure what the correct play is, just curious what people think.

Having gone through this with grb, i think calling is the ok play?

Beer’s right - this isn’t much different from that hand grb posted; a bit better actually.

Calling is probably default, but depending on the limpers I might raise. Even a lot of the bad players won't limp with a pair of fours or fives.

Because of the overpairs, right?

No, she was value betting AK high; I only had AJ high.

I vote call too.

Assuming no one makes trips on board, do you call down to river?

You are calling down because you have outs and you might be ahead. It doesn't make sense to fold on the river because there will be at least a 1/n chance you are ahead. (n = number BB in pot)

What does it mean when the 44 calls a bet from the 55?
