Re: Two pair with 98
 

As played I like the river bet though I'm pretty positive I'm raising this flop.

I raise the flop to get more money in from the drawers.

As played I like turn and river.

I like raising this flop. For all you know SB might 3-bet and you can cap. In these games once they start calling they're not going to fold. Once SB checks, 'maniac' bets turn and honest guy only calls I like raising the turn. River bet's fine once checked to you and you've got to like your image if any of them pay you off.

snake,

I think not betting the river after this action is pretty bad.

Nate nailed the flop, look what came on the turn and froze up the action.

All --

Thanks for the input.

I bet the river, SB folded, maniac called, other guy folded. 98 good.
