Shove. He may have 2 pair, but so what. He may have AJ too. Or a flush draw or a straight draw (or a straight). Whatever I shove and hope for the best. He may be playing top pair or trying to steal the pot. Plus you have them both covered.

 

[vanquish]

shove, you crush his range

It's always hard to fold rockets, especially when you know the board is not in your favor (straights and flushes). The blinds were still low so you had many other hands to play where the board could have been more in your favor.

You lose the hand & you are left with 770 chips & 10/20 blinds, you made the proper play IMO.
