Two pair review

Obviously loving the fact I hit my ace, would you have played differently? Am I opening to wide with A8s UTG?

But I think, you correctly pinpointed, that most of his range consist of worse two pair hands, and that these might find a crying call. Getting those last 75c on the river is huge for your winrate so well done

Welcome. Usually these hand reviews are about finding mistakes and correcting them, but I think, its equally important to focus on hands, where we did something well

the reasons for looking at my biggest losing hands is obvious!
