As played fold in a heartbeat.
This is a prime example of how hand strength is relative.
Two pair on a dry board is a great hand were often happy to stack off with.
Two pair on this board is worthless trash. Toss it.

This is also a pretty obvious fold preflop. We can't afford to be making calls like this when in UTG+2. Save calls like this for the button when were guaranteed position. Although personally I'd fold this from the button as well.

Fold on the button? You nit!

But yeah, this is a fold when you have a ton of players left to act behind you preflop.

I do like raising the flop as a bluff though. Calling pretty much sucks, as you're rarely going to get action when a 9 or 4 rolls off the deck, so we have zero implied odds.

Tags > Lags @ 25NL :D


Although am a 23/21 and looking to reduce it.
I don't call here because its 25NL and I'd rather play tighter and have an extra couple of tables up.
And because despite opening UTG this guys range will still be wide as **** (my arse he plays positionally) so my hand isn't screaming implied odds.

Yeah, because of this reason, folding the button is fine. You're still a nit tho. ;)
