25NL: flop 2 pair on uncoordinated rainbow flop. Slow play gone bad?

[yeedog]

Yes I know the limp is terrible, but I knew that if i limped everybody else would limp along and atleast I was on the button.

I figured no turn card would really scare me and SB could have just hit the J and I'm way ahead with top two. Should I just have raised the flop to like 4 or 5 and probably win it right here? SB just came in for 15 so I really have no reads yet..

I hardly ever slow play but this seemed like the perfect scenario to do it.

What do you guys make of his turn check-raise? Can I put SB on exactly JT or some kind of set? Does Baluga theorem play here even with 2 pair? SB could have limped in with AJ/KJ just as easily as JT...

I think your call on the flop is worse than your call pf. Make a slightly less than pot-sized raise to $2. This is a limped pot and you´d like to get it in by the river.

So you slowplay the flop so you could get action on later streets and then when you get action on the turn you don´t know what to do. Hmm. Fold pf, raise the flop.

Preflop and flop are awful.

As played, call and reevaluate the river.

PF is ok if you know what you are doing (i.e. don't get carried away if you flop TP).

Flop is exactly what you are looking for if you decide to call this pre-flop. You need to be willing to play this hard and felt this or you shouldn't call pre-flop.

As played call and push most non-heart rivers.

I pushed it over the the turn re-raise without much thought. He flipped over JT... oh well. Just wanted to see if others play this differently..
