Hello. I got REALLY lucky to hit top 2 pair on the river in this hand. However, my hero call was just that, lucky. I did consider the possibility that Villain had A10 in his range, but decided that he would raise on the flop with this holding. When Villain raised me on the turn, I wasn't afraid of the straight (would 2/5 really call my preflop raise?).

My question to the forum - I understand that any two cards can be in any opponents range. How can I get better at establishing a range when MP calls a 2bet? How can I get better at recognizing a range of two-pair when Villain raises on the turn? Should I have checked TPTK on the turn? Since I bet the turn, would you recommend I lay this hand down to Villain's raise on the turn?

Thank you!

Raise larger pre, I go 4bb OOP this deep and 4.5 is fine as well. Flop and turn are fine, river I’m jamming for value, we theoretically lose to three combos in 33 and V is capable of playing AT, A3, and A4 like this spot.

IMHO Hero shove direct river. A few hands, but the stats is a very bad player, who may have A4 / A3 while bearing the blocker,

ALL in direct river.

Typically with an open limper in the pot I will make my pre flop raise 3x BB vs my standard 2.2-2.4x pre flop open. On this board, on the turn IMO, a check back would be wise as you are way ahead or way behind. Villains range includes AT+ suited, A4 suited, A3 suited, TT, 33, KT+ suited or off suit, QT+ suited or off suit. Of this range, you only beat the pair of Tens, AQ, AJ and straight draw combos. You probably should have shoved the River when checked to you, 40 BB into 50 BB pot. My feeling is that you will never be folding to a check raise, so get it in and hope to be called by AQ, AJ or worse two pair

Raise much larger pre flop. Lkmpers tend to call pretty large bets, especially in micros. Id go 4.5bb at a min and even try for as large as 6bb.

Flop: Bet larger! You have a strong value hand vs a weak opponent!

Turn:Looks good.

River:Shove for value!
