Re: Playing Bottom 2 pair
1.) Don't play crappy hands like these.
2.) If you are going to play crappy hands like these, well then I guess you kinda have to go broke when you hit your 2-pair. Edit: 3.) The right way to play them is fast when you do hit bottom 2. So you got that part right. Seriously, though, just fold this crap preflop. You are on the ass-end of everything. |

Re: Playing Bottom 2 pair
Hand 1 I fold preflop, as played I think you can fold turn seeing how little u have invested and villain line is super strong.
Hand 2 is fine IMO. |

Re: Playing Bottom 2 pair
There's all kinds of hands that have you beat. The turn check raise does not bode well for your hand.
EDIT: Meh, BoB, this isn't so bad. |

Hand 1: I like preflop. The rest is good.
Hand 2: Raise more on the flop. Rest is fine. |

Go broke in both these spots, especially in hand 2.
