Default Re: TTP nightmares...

I've had this same issue lately. It's even worse with two pair that aren't top pair. I had 52s on the BB the other day, checked and saw 5 2 7 r on the flop. I checked, a limper in middle bet, 1 caller, I c/r'ed, and everyone called. J on the turn. I bet, get 1 caller. Q on the river, the caller shows down QJ for two pair.

I realized afterwards that this was my fault. I should have waited to checkraise on the turn, since so many cards would be problematic for me, and the bigger bet was more likely to drive off the draws. My opponent in this case STILL would have called, but in the case where lots of cards are gonna hurt ya, and you can't fold the draws on the flop, waiting for the turn to ram and jam is the only answer.
