Bottom two-pair on this board sucks. I'd call and re-evaluate the turn. Lead turn on rags, c/f on nearly all others.

Fold it. Too many scenarios where you are crushed, or just slightly ahead.

It's a questionable raise preflop also.

Why put any more money in OOP on the flop? What size bet would work well on the turn given the bloated pot, to not find yourself committed? Just a bad spot I think.

Hands like this I always want to c/f, but then decide to call and re-evaluate on the turn. Problem is, they always follow up on the turn with a strong bet and I fold. So, weak as it sounds, I think you just have to dump it here. Bottom 2 pair sucks here, and even when you do hit a Q or T on the turn you're going to lose a fair amount of the time anyway.

Not bad, just marginal. I might raise, might fold, depending on how the table has been. Not sure why I brought it up, really.

Well, me being one of the few crazy LAGs in uNL, I don't mind it as this is well within my range. However, you're going to have to proceed with caution postflop because hands like this one come up pretty often.

pf raise is standard if you play postflop well. I'm surprised you lost to a set here, I'd expect AJ alot more than a set.
