Re: $1/$2 NLHE: Flopping two pair and getting your bet raised



Your stacks and bet sizes in this game are not going to be sufficient to discover where you are at comparatively. It's just not going to happen.

Shoving is a bad plan, because you are essentially turning your hand into a bluff. You are not going to get called by worse.

In order to improve the quality of value you get overtime with this hand, you need to figure out how to get worse hands, (like AK) to pay the most amount of money.

The alternate policy of folding when you are worse is going to be difficult.

One way would be three small streets. You could also check call. Non of these plays will be successful all the time. You are essentially trying to improve your ev by making your opponent have a greater range over time.

I suspect you are still trying to figure out HOW to win this hand. And I point you back to paragraph 1.
