Raise more pf, at least 4xBB + 1BB per limper = 0.25. With AK you might want to bet a bit more like 0.30 since you want the smallest amount of opp postf. and AK doesnt do well against more than 1 station postf.

As played, I prob fold here since 2 pair is nowhere near the nuts on this board, but it depends on overall stats of villain. He is AF 2.0, this bet is more like a AF 5.0 person so I would be wary. He shoves into 3 players, I see fish do this with the nuts or strong hand hoping a worse fish will call with an A. He has minimum 2 pair.

Bottom line, this is a close call and you dont need to risk a stack on 2pair when the pot is so small.

Fold and find better spot, the pot odds are awful :)


Crazy.

You should be calling flop all-ins with top two on the flop almost every time (unless you're against a super-rock who only bets with the nuts).

There are just so few plausible hands that beat you here. (well.. JT is one, AA-QQ are quite unlikely)
The villain could shove with AQ, KQ, two diamonds, AJ, AT.. at 55 VPIP anything is possible.

Only hands you are dead against are AA and KK, what are the odds of him smooth-calling them from SB?

In the worst case you're on a 4-outer with a runner-runner nut flush posibility. May not seem much, but in majority of cases it is a whole lot better than your usual micro-tourist.

The odds in this hand are stupid.. but you get a good price for your top two here (you will win more than every other time..)


hi
i am not ever folding top two pair here unless i have a realy good read he does this with the nuts . his range is wide enough here imo . flush draws , gutshots + pair , aq , kq and very rarely 10j
