Re: How agressive to get with 2 pair?
I don't think I would raise the turn here. He doesn't have AK, so he'd have to be going nuts with KJ or some wacky 2 pair to have a worse made hand. A really big part of his range is sets and another K9. He might be going crazy with a flush draw, but there's really not much value in charging a flush in this spot because when someone semibluff-caps a strong draw on the flop they are generally going to barrel off on the turn and river. So if you raise a flush draw on the turn here, you're going to get 2 BB from him when you win, and you're going to pay him 3 BB (or 4 if you get CR on the river) when he hits his flush. If you don't raise him, you're going to get 2 bets when you win and pay him 2 bets when you lose. Also, it's pretty likely that you're chopping or drawing to 2-4 outs here. Just call down from the flop cap.
