Re: Question regarding raised pots
I think these things are read dependent.
On the 559 hand with 56, if there is still plenty of chips in the effective stacks, I might go into call down mode. Basically, 56 only beats badly played 1-pair hands. ON this drawless flop, any big hand, like 99 or 57s, 58s, has you beaten pretty badly.
As for top two pair, that depends too. Usually, you are probably correct to get all-in with top 2-pair in a raised pot. But I'd be more inclined to do that heads up in a raised pot with 89s on a 895r flop than I might on a AKQ flop, for example. I'm also willing to lay down top 2-pair on coordinated flops and vs post-flop nits who wouldn't be all-in post flop without a set or better given the preflop action and the board.
