two pair on dry board, what to do? (50c)

[donkeykong2]

villain has been really aggressive so far and basically ran over the table by betting anytime. his reraising range preflop is pretty big imo.


Seat 1: xx ($43 in chips)
Seat 2: golfzoo ($37,25 in chips) (on the button)
Seat 5: STRNG NRG ($98,10 in chips)
*** Blind Bet Round *** :
STRNG NRG : Post Blind ($0,50)
xx : Post Blind ($0,50)
Dealt to xx: Ad
Dealt to xx: 10s
Dealt to xx: 2s
Dealt to xx: Kd
*** Pre-Flop *** :
golfzoo : Call ($0,50)
STRNG NRG : Bet ($1,50)
xx : Call ($1,50)
golfzoo : Call ($1,50)
*** Flop *** : Ac 3c 2d
STRNG NRG : Bet ($5)
xx : Raise ($15)
golfzoo : Call ($15)
STRNG NRG : Call ($10)
*** Turn *** : [ Ac 3c 2d ] Jh

so i flop top and bottom pair and think i am ahead of his range here because this board doesnt hit too many hands other than AAxx. Now that both villains called, do i just give up? what do you think of my flop raise?

any ideas?

Your flop raise represents 45xx to your opponents, with or without redraws, and you got two calls. (Granted, they may be idiots). They either have the same hand with redraws, and hence see no need to raise, or they are drawing to something that can beat 45xx, i.e., a flush or boat. You will also see gut shots to higher str8's calling here, but not as often as flush draws, made str8's and boat draws (except against special villians). You are way behind these hands or not as ahead as you would like to be.

The Jh should be a blank to all these hands. So you are still way behind (made straight and boat draws) or ahead by like ~60%, maybe less. I think you need to say good by to this hand on turn. I think you may want to fold to the flop bet instead of raising with this hand as as well.

thx, good analysis, villain 1 had 45 and the nut flush draw and villain 2 had AA, seems like i picked the wrong time to make that move.
