2 pair on 25NL

[Shizzle12345]

I put MP on any 2 cards. I wasnt scared of him, that dude really called everything. But I really dont know how to play top 2 pair in situations like this. In the past i lost a load on them. Table was pretty loose, thats why i played it like this. And the other guy was shortstack, they usually play pretty loose too.

3bet flop, all in on turn... top two should usually be played like a set

You should play bottom 2 carefully, top two not so much.
