Re: NL50: How to play this turned top two-pair?
Only hand you have to worry about is 23, any of the "callers" on the flop can have this. You have to see who is really interested with the pot here. Calling on the turn would be super conservative and those who has Ace pairs might draw out on you. I would definite PSB the turn, find out who is truly interested. This is a hand that you can almost safely play for stack.
Hands that beat you are obviously 44, 55, AA, 23, 99. Hands you tie or beat that would call your raise would be AQ, AK, A4, A5, 45, 59, 49 or if the game is really fishy, any Ace trash hand. Your pot equity is quite good here to put your money in. The only worry is if you have more than 2+ callers, it's marginal. But you are getting more odds to win the hand, so it's worth the risk. So if it's heads up, I'm going to play for stack here. Over time, you will win more than you lose. Since you only have 100BB worth of a stack, I'd definitely throw my stack in there, how you do that, that's another story.
