What do y'all think of this? Flopping 2p is usually good at $10NL but his min-raise is definitley fishy.

Also, is the way i played bottom 2 on this flop( good enough in the LONG RUN to make money? will this break even? will it lose money? I think it'll make money in the long run at $10NL but I'd like others opinions

Getting it all in with 2 pair is good at this level, but why was your flop bet so big?

[Coz]

I don't know why you bet so much on the flop, it was a huge overbet and unjustified, the majority of the time you won't get paid off and at times like these you will lose a lot of money. I would have bet .30 on flop. Depending on the amount he re-raised I would either call or re-raise, if he re-raised me all in I would probably fold. These guys play pretty straightforward poker, if he tells you his hand is better than yours than you should fold.

Definitely don't bet as much on this flop, only bet about 3/4 of the pot.
As played, no way I'm not gettin it all in with 2pair at this level without some kind of read.

wow flop bet is really bad. Too big, and preflop is super leaky.

His minraise was to 40bb.

2 pair is usually good here. Given no reads I'm getting it all in with 2 pair at $10NL. You could very well be up against AK or worse.

fold pre-flop. don't understand the flop bet at all, make it .40 and go from there.

Why fold preflop? If bb checks we're getting 7:1 on our money. I'd call 5c into a 35c pot. I agree with the flop bet though. We were just unlucky that villain didn't raise preflop since then OP would have folded to one of the few boards I'd get all my money in with the worst of it.
