Bottom Two Pair

[gotmarc]

This is one of the hardest situation's for me. . . when i'm in the big blind-- especially when I haven't had a lot of time to notice my opponent's playing styles.

You guys are sortve deep. It also depends on your read of CO. if he's the type of donkey to go apeshit on this type of board with a hand as weak as KT or something like that, obv this is a shove.

if he's tighter though, consider your options. I would typically call the .2 and take it from there.

Agree with orange. It's just bad to get it in on an unraised pot which ends up 5 bet on the flop with a possible nit. Slow down, and play the turn and suck some value out of top pair hands and flush draws.
