NL600 What to do with this two pair?
 

Villian is luckytofu. He plays 18/4 and goes to showdown 25%.

The notes I have are that he once limped utg then called a huge raise from me (BB) after using his time bank. In another hand he minraised the turn on a AsKs5 board and I folded.

i think you played it fine. villain does not appear to be very good so you are ahead here more than you are behind.

OT: what is your biggest accomplishment in tournaments?

A 14k cash in the Wednesday nightly once. Played in WSOP ME this year but didn't place. Why do you ask?

Re: NL600 What to do with this two pair?
 

Play here seems fine, you can't really find a turn fold.

Re: NL600 What to do with this two pair?
 

i know you play tournaments and i know you play high stakes fr. i was wondering whether you built your roll through tournament success, then jumped into the bigger games or if you grinded your way up.

I rarely play tournaments anymore. My PokerTracker doesn't work for tournaments and I don't know why.

I actually built up my roll from playing sit and gos way back when. Trasitioned to 1/2 NL 6 max when the sngs began to dry up. Of course a big tourney score doesn't hurt, but playing tournaments can also drain your bankroll due to the variance.

Re: NL600 What to do with this two pair?
 

i don't think you can fold this button vs cutoff.

Its so close to being a fold though.

Re: NL600 What to do with this two pair?
 

It's marginally close to being a fold, but not to a donkish minraise when he has little left behind and he can easily have A3, or be overplaying AK etc.

Nice read, he had AK.

Re: NL600 What to do with this two pair?
 

So you guys wouldn't of gotten stacked in position with AK in that spot? At what point would you guys of played it differently.
