Re: low middle pair question
I don't think there is a definitive right answer and the board was looking quite good for both players. The continuation bet was fine. Often All ins can be interpreted as weak bluff to push the over guy off the pot.
Player B would have been pretty sure to believe he had the best hand, and was hoping maybe 'A' had a big pocket pair. Player 'A' decided it was worth drawing to the straight on a gamble as it was very unlikely 'B' had 52.
Online play being so quick, it's easy to get caught up in the action and not really consider a situation when it is a gamble.
Small pairs are good to see cheap unraised pots early when you have lots of chips, and take it from there. Sometimes they become a monster, other times you may even need to muck trips if it's made clear in a multiway pot a straight or flush has been made. But thats what you should expect from a cheap flop, all players looking to improve once the flop has hit.
