Hi,

What do you think of this hand? could I have got away from this, should I just have called his bet on the flop with my 2 pair?

If I check the flop I would go for a normal check/raise to approximately 10bb or you have reads he makes weird calls on over shoves. Another option would be to lead the flop to protect our hand for draws and for value as well, because it’s likely the CO will check behind if he don’t have a strong hand.

Cheers,

Hi again SDK1987!

Ok so say that I lead out on the flop and then gets 3betted I still call there right? I didn't have any particular reads on him except that he played a lot of hands with different strenghts. And if I 3 bet him to around 10BB and then get rereaised should I fold there even with my top two pair?
I think that I mabye shouldn't have shoved it there but I thought he had like Qx something.

You are blocking 2 sets and then you only against 55 in bad shape, but I wouldn’t be surprised he could play a flush draw and a hand like AQ the same way. So I would always stack off if you lead it or check/raise the flop.
