Tough hand and hard to know what the SB has. Don't think you did anything wrong in particular. Only thing would be maybe pushing after the SB's re-raise might have been a bit over-aggressive with the possibilities of sets although that depends on how your opponent has been playing before. If he plays draws aggressively then you don't want to give him a cheap turn card that could complete a straight or flush for him.

I think the best way to play a hand like this comes down a lot to the image you have of your opponent. If he plays hands such as top pair or draws aggressively then your all-in makes a lot of sense. If however he has been a particularly tight player and then re-raises you then a more cautious approach such as a calling his raise or even folding might have been appropriate although with something as strong as 2 pair it always seems a shame to throw it away!

You have edge over your opponents, i suggest make it 120 pre, and play your hand IP, limp isn't bad, but your hand is strong enough to make it 120 pre, and than see what comes on flop and play it aggressively, than i don't mind going broke on flop, but as you played this hand, i don't see many worse hands that could call your push.

opp was kinda tight but i can't really fold this hand at these stakes. i have seen the worst plays ever and even from decent players. i thought about calling the flop but if blank turn comes what should i do ? + i wanted to protect from draws. and i thought that he maybe was on a BIG BIG draw. flush+str8.

No, you cant fold this hand on the flop. Isoing pre is marginal i think, could do it if you are good at flop.

i was isoraising these hands especially in position but at these stakes it wasn't working so good so i decided to limp. i was loosing chips early and it wasn't worth it

I don't see them trapping by limping, so def iso from me, most of the time i just take it down by c-bet.

I understand you, but i still think iso here from BTN is much better than limping, as we know they are bad than easily make pot before flop and if you hit make them pay and on this board if i have iso pre than don't mind going broke , if you limp behind it's very hard to get paid post flop and you have no clue what sb and bb have.

Hi all,

I would isolate here against an unknown preflop. As played I make it 420 or so after his raise and call an all-in.
