Loose player on the button raised, I decided to call as this guy could have been raising with anything. I didn't feel confident enough to 3-bet with such a weak Ace.

Flop came and hit top pair, bet for value. When I was raised I didn't give him credit for a strong ace. Although I would have given up my hand on the turn to a big bet.

Once I hit 2 pair was my play reasonable?

You hit two pair you bet/call that turn against that guy. He is also short-stacked so you only lost about 15BB in value. Only needed a little of aggresion to stack him in the river, no reason to slowplay you even bet on the flop you could bet on the turn as well.

Hey Craigsy633,

Preflop defend is marginal 3-way although it's true we get a nice price.

Leading flop is fine multi-way. Bet/call flop is pretty marginal again. Especially 3-way might be better to be playing bet/fold here.

Once we spike 2nd pair we are committed though.

Leading turn is fine. Small x/r is fine also followed by river shove. Larger river bet would be fine. We can get the stacks in vs a fish.
