Don't give them up, you will profit in the long term by playing 2 pair. As with all hands, except straight flush etc, expect to lose a small portion of the time.

If you hit 2 pair on the flop against 1 opponent, you have 85%chance to win. Against 2 opponents, 75% chance. Against 3, 66% chance.

Sounds good, yea? This is assuming you didn't start with a pocket pair and another pair hit the flop - you were dealt, for example, 10,9o and the flop was 10,9,A.

-edit- in case you were dealt a pocket pair and another pair hit the flop, you still have good chances of winning as there is only 1 other card for them to pair with, and the chances of making a set is something like 2.2%. Just be careful that the other card is not higher than your pocket pairs.

Control the pot if you are unsure of the 2 pairs , often you can even induce your opponent to make a mistake with bluffs

Two pair is usually a solid hand, depending on the flop.

U can fold hand if u have a small pair(f.e. <10). But that is dealing of luck. I got quad of eights having 8-8 as hand and K-8-8 on flop. So that fold hand or not is you decision.
Good luck

2 pair is most easily beat by a straight which can be obvious by the board and betting patterns.

Top two pair is a solid hand but not for those low two pair.

You have to look at the board if your hand is not good to continue.

2pair it depends on the flop. really, is there a flush/straight that can beat you ,do you have the best 2pair do you have the second best 2pair. most of the time, you have the apponent beat with 2pair, But you should look at how many chances there are that the apponent has you beat

Two Pair is Excelente hand. But against Draws on the Flop is better Fold. All hands it can Fold.

That's exactly the opposite of what you want to do. Two pair is a favorite against OESDs or FDs, even if the other player has overcards, so you WANT others to continue with Draws.
