shove?
call flop, shove secure looking turn?

im pretty bad in these spots and i guess i tend to lose value there

Re: NL100: SC flops 2pair - what now?
 

Id raise to about 50. Too many cards can come on the turn that'll give you a tough decision to make if you just call the flop bet.

Play it hard...it's very doubtful he reraised you from the SB with 66-88 or T9. He probably has an overpair. A raise to $50 sounds good to me.

Re: NL100: SC flops 2pair - what now?
 

i find when the blinds repop me and lead for half the pot or full pot its an overpair, raise him but not so big that he folds TT or JJ 45-50 sounds good then get it in on turn

Re: NL100: SC flops 2pair - what now?
 

raise/call

Re: NL100: SC flops 2pair - what now?
 

well raising to 50 means i shove the turn no matter what - im pretty much commited

in the hand i shoved the flop, since i wasnt really sure what to do [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
comments?

Re: NL100: SC flops 2pair - what now?
 

meh, I make it 50 and let him shove over the top

Re: NL100: SC flops 2pair - what now?
 

You're not getting him to fold any better hands by shoving the flop and you don't want him to fold JJ - AA (Although most likely he wouldn't anyways). Make it around $50 and call a shove or get the money in on the turn.

Re: NL100: SC flops 2pair - what now?
 

thats probably not as good as raise/call

Re: NL100: SC flops 2pair - what now?
 

raise to about 60 and call a shove. if he just calls shove any turn card besides an 8.
