Besides folding preflop, how's my line? No big reads on villain..

Villans range is basically any two cards, without any sort of read I'd fold. If villan is a terrible I'd shove, if he is solid I'd fold. As you've said just fold out pre-flop, its a horrible complicated hand which I like to stay away from.

Fold pf. As played I get it in vs an unknown. If you're going to limp with JTo type hands you better get paid when you hit 2 pair or better or don't limp with it, I don't see how you fold top 2 pair, even on this board.

fold preflop.

i'd bet 225-250 on the flop so it will be easier to push a brick turn. as played get 'em in.

Good advice thanks! FWIW I fold this 95% of the time preflop, but this is a combination of whiskey and a desire to mix it up a bit. If I'm ever here in the future I push it, cheers.

i think this is a pretty easy fold both PF and post flop. you have 60 BBs and it's just not worth it to potentially put it AI on such a draw heavy board. One of the fish will hit their draw for sure.

Well there's only one fish and if he's on a draw this means I am ahead and have to call. The question is does he do this with enough hands that I'm currently beating, and I'm convinced the answer is yes (FD, SD, TPTK, etc.). Plus as said even if he's hit a straight or a set (less likely since I have two pair and you'd expect a pf raise from any of these pairs) I still have a few outs.
