Was it right to push all-in on the FLop with two pair. My thougts were that i'm in front against every over-pair and drawing hand.

I'd be interested to know why you pushed the turn there - you're both super-deep so you have lots of time to stack him if you're going to. A pot-size raise to .50 essentially says "no, your overpair isn't any good, this is a flop I like and I'm willing to take control here."

On the other hand, with a board like that, we're probably happy to have the hand end, and the most likely way to get that done is to do something completely irrational-looking like pushing all-in with 400BB in a 13BB pot. If you have any fold equity (and at $2NL, maybe you don't), that's the way to find out.

If he calls a pot-size raise on the flop, I probably bet-fold that turn. The river is obviously the worst thing that can happen to your hand - you're only ahead of Ax now (which he might still have, but...)

I seriously doubt that any villain at this level folds an overpair on the flop. But he might fold on that turn and many others. Nh op.
