i havent figured out how to do this yet or if there is anyway of doing it...
wen you pull top pair on the flop or anywhere and your opponet is betting and you keep raising or calling or watever and he ends up having 2 pair...my question is...is there anyway of telling if a player has 2 pair?

i say you'd have to kinda get a feel for who your playing first...or you wouldn't really know how they play the hand...and depending on the hand to determine it...and it's still pretty much guessing unless you know how your opponents play...

say you have qclub/10hearts and flop qhearts/10spades/Aspades

here you might want to be careful going all in or raising too high for the fact that someone holding an Ace/q-10, 2 spade (prefferabally higher spades), or K/J......someone might be stubborn and call anything having A/K or A/J depending on their situation and position and how they play and how much they know your or pay attention to the way you play...

you have the chance for a full so you're looking good....only thing that would scare me here is if someone that i know is good bets into me hard...i'd think about folding but it's really really really hard to explain these 2 pair situations as you can see....my point is it's really hard to determine if someone does but maybe after seeing it from a point of view from the person that has the 2 pair maybe you'll think hard about calling someone that may have it...

i dunno if that helped any but that's the best i can come up with lol...not too thorough but hope you get it hehe...

peace

Not to be insulting, but your question is dumb. There is no tell-tale sign that someone has two pair. If I told you every time your opponent exhales deeply he has two pair would you believe me??? It's about instinct and your personal reads. The same goes for can you tell if someon eis on a flush or straight draw? Does someone have trips? You have to make educated guesses on whether you are beat or not. Remember top pair is not always the best hand. One thing though, if you hold KK and raise preflop a substantial amount and your opponent calls. If the flop comes Q-5-2. It is probably very likely he does not have two pair. If you bet and he raises, he might have AQ or trip 5's. Just use your head and think logically.

it is hard to determone if he has two pair or not. you must firsty see if he called form a blind. next look at the cards on the table. and finaly see his betting pattern. it is a very hard call to make.

the only way to put a player on two pair is the way he bets...he thinks hes got the best hand and if your betting it then hes probably putting you on top pair with a high kicker so when he raises your bet then this is where you should watch out....if he just calls you all theway down however then your opponent doesnt know what hes doing and theres nothing you can do about it

I dont feel you can ever put an opponent on 2 pair. Much easier to put them on a set of st8 flush draw.

low 2 pair is the way to lose $$$ if you have it.

ex: pair on the board at turn or river kills your low 2 pair which you likely bet hard on

I never play low cards unless i was sure to bluff.

exactly
if youve got two face cards for ex. raise preflop a nice amount, the guys not gonna call with Q2
if not, he might limp in with it and say 9Q2 pops up on flop and youve got AQ and didnt raise preflop, youre thinking, ok he cant beat me ive got top pair with top kicker, but hes got two pr.
to eliminate the dude who limps in with low kicker, just eliminate the limper preflop
