Preflop i called as both players had a 3b over 9 over 30 hand samples.

I led with my 2 pair to get other hands to fold multiway. When i get shoved on and then that called. I thought i was against over pairs, trips, made straight maybe and other draws. I only called because of the price!

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Hey,

I don't like your call pre here. Imo folding is the better play. If you think that BB is getting out of line then you can consider 4betting but thats also too loose. Calling is awkward because we don't have great playability and we'll find ourselves in a dominated spot a lot. And depending on btn we could end up sandwiched...

So imo folding >>> 4betting > calling

On the flop I'm not sure our relative hand strength is that great so the raise is meh depending on villain, I don't expect to get called by much worse.... You block TT/QQ so sets aren't too likely but once btn 3bets it really sucks. Tbh the only way to work it out is give them a range and equilab it. Maybe post it here and one of the coaches might be able comment.

Hi Stu24023

Preflop: why would we call such a garbage hand preflop? This should be an instant fold.

Postflop: As played bottom 2 pair are rarely ever good or have a ton of equity vs a range that people stack off on that flop with.

Remember BB 3-bet so he can have QQ, KK, TT and even AJ.
