Yep. If they only have 2 pair then you should consider it a once in a hundred chance, or whatever. What was your stack?

I faced this twice tonight. Once late in the first hour, and I folded it. Second time nearing the bubble, I was shortstacked and had to go. I won a huge pot, turns out the two guys ahead of me were fighting over two-pair hands.

Landed on the FT shortly after that. Went out third as I went card-dead with three people left.

Insta-muck. It's rare that 222 is going to be good against 3 people that seem to love their hands.

Well, at least you know 3 people that will overplay their 2 pair hands.

It's also good to see that the worst hand won.

MP could've had trip 5s and kept his high or low kicker, too. We really don't know if Hero was ever ahead on this hand. In any event, I say good fold.
