weak. This is a hand you dream about against a maniac. Raise that turn. Raise that river.

A good rule of thumb for flopping two pair (with exceptions of course.) It's so easy to get counterfeited or lose action.

Actually here it seems that you don't even think your hand is good for some reason. Care to explain?

I think here i'm raising his min raise on the flop just because bottom 2 pair is so easily beat by the river.
