[Closed] Were my two pairs good?

Opponent should 3bet with set most of time in flop. I would put him to draw or some Tx hand usually. So I would bet turn ~0.35$. Turn card is relatively safe as 79 is only draw completed. With safe river it's ok to do value river bet as well.

This.You need to bet turn unless a flush completes his hand is almost always a draw or some Tx hand that will pay you at least few more times.On the river easy value bet/raise.

Great, makes a lot of sense, thank you guys!

Hi,

Agreed. Definitely bet the turn for value, villain's most likely hands are Tx and random draws, it's criminal to pass it up.

As played bet the river stronger as well, most people aren't folding Tx ever there whether you make it 1/3 pot or 3/4 pot.

Hope it helps.

Hmm, I was just afraid to be reraised in the turn, so I just played it conservatively.

So, would you say this kind of hand is strong enough to go ALL-IN in this flop?

Hi,

Probably. You're only beat by the unlikely 44 and the very unlikely TT/88.

As for you getting raised on the turn it won't happen very often at all, in fact it'll happen so rarely that fearing it will make you play bad the vast majority of the time. Just because 5% of the time you'll get raised doesn't mean it's worth missing out on a valuebet against worse hands the other 95%.

Hope it helps.

Got it, thanks!
