Default Re: Flopped two pair on flushy flop and LOT of action...It\'s to you...

One question to those saying to fold here- doesn't 22 play pretty much the same? Would you fold that?

I realize 22 is less vulnerable to straights and flushes because of a better redraw, but since we're getting it all anyway is that a big concern? Or put another way, if straights and flushes are our big concern here, wouldn't we be correct to get it in with either 22 or our two pair? And if sets were our big concern, wouldn't folding both hands be correct?

22 is a bigger favorite against big draws, and a far bigger favorite against overpairs. Also, 22 is itself a significant part of CO's range here. I'd get it in with 22 here, 65 is close, but I think it's a fold.

[/ QUOTE ]Well right, but only because we have a 5 and a 6, which makes 55 and 66 less likely for CO. If we had 22, those hands would now become more likely.

Like I said earlier, i thought it was going to be 3 handed, and OOP 3 handed with a SC I don't really like much, I may call like 25-30% of the time, but i don't think it is standard with only 3 to the flop. Had the bet been 3x with 3 to the flop I am ok, but with 4x I need 4 to the flop.

Closing action is always good.

It is probably pretty close to 22, but I think I like 22 better. With a SC I usually need more players. but I will take 22 HU against the right players.
