With Two Pair

Hi,

Just recently, I was burned five times in a row. All instances has something to do with me flopping two pair on the board. Well, at some instances I flopped bottom pair with no ace and no suits and have slow played.

Now, if its a rainbow flop and you are in front or middle position, how do you go about playing two pair? I badly need to hear your answer/opinion on this.

Many thanks,
Alexander
Alexander,

It depends on the flop and the players. You may want to slow play to extract more money, and you may want to bet out to accomplish the same effect. Also, if there is an overcard to your pair, you may want to be out to avoid someone calling with one pair and pairing the board to counterfeit your two pair.
