Well in heads up play to make two pairs is to have an extremely strong hand and often villain will call with worse hands and not very often that our hand is second best.

Having said that your shove on the turn is questionable play because the turn card is one of the worst as it completes a ton of draws. I would have not have c-bet the flop to be honest as there is a danger of getting check raised there and third pair doesn't look strong to a check raise. So by checking back the flop we keep the pot small.:eek:

Agree with you! Furthermore, playing J5s is quite hard to understand...
