One of the trouble situations I'm finding myself in a lot at 6 max cash games is having two pair hands, getting it in on flop or turn only to see my two pair crushed by a flopped set or a higher two pair.
Sometimes I'll flop two pair, other times I'll flop a solid pair and turn two pair only to see I've either been beat by higher two pair or a set.
There's a lot of manic play at 6max, especially at stakes between 2NL and 50NL, so to me a re-raise or shove can be anything from a draw or bottom pair (from what I'm seeing) to sets or top two pair.
I've improved my game a lot over the years but getting away from two pair (esp on dry boards) continues to be one of my biggest causes of lost big pots,
How do you get a better read on these spots to not get stacked with two pair or how do you change your betting to better control the pot size in these spots?
