Is this a spot where you can get away from Two Pair?

I squarely (about 80% sure) put him on the Q10 hand with his $5 re-raise, but my thought process was swayed by the fact that i had two pair and was beating Qx as well. That is why i continued with the hand.

In this situation, when you have such a strong read, is it correct to make the call?

i typically wouldnt 3-bet this flop. its dry enough so i can evaluate the later action.

that said, i probably will get my stack in here barring a stronger read. i typically would have called the $3 and probably c/r-ed a blank turn.

i don't think its too big of a deal if you stacked off here. if its -EV, its not -EV by that much.

Yes, i tend to agree with the call of the flop raise. I am going to remember hands of this type, and take them to showdown a little easier.

Allthough the board isnt as dry as i think you give it credit for given his actions...Prob 30% of the time i would raise a straight draw (in his shoes) and then if the A or 9 hit on the turn, the hand dynamics would change considerably.

However given this point, if i just call his flop raise, i am in a much better position to get away from bottom two pair later. cheers, Jake
