    Default $25 NL HE Full Ring: Two-pair facing aggressive action

    I'm fairly sure this is a correct fold at the river, yes? But what about the line? Should I have got away from this before the river? Should I jam the flop?

    BB is massive fish (38/3) so wasn't too concerned with him. MP2 has stats of 17/11 and seemed a decent TAG. I couldn't decide whether he was on a flush draw or had hit a set with 88/JJ. Ace of spades on the flop made me think flush draw less likely.

    Make your c-bet bigger, like $1.60. Then reraise the flop to like $10. He could easily have AK/AQ/AT more often than a set. And KsQs/KsJs/KsTs are also likely. I don't know what slowplaying accomplishes other than making yourself unsure of whether he really has you beat or not by under repping your hand. I'm never folding this river unless I have good reads that he plays like this with sets. You tried to get fancy and ended up confusing yourself.

    Thanks for the input. I'm happy with the fold at the river: the only hand that made sense was 8 8 or possibly (but unlikely) a busted flush draw, and yes, he turned over 8 8.

    I'm trying to work out what the best line here is. I think probably folding the turn. Against many other types of players I'm happily shoving the flop raise but this guy had shown he was decent. The only hands I could see him raising that flop which I had beat were T9s or KQs. If I shove then he's folding these hands and only calling when I'm screwed (well...I suppose 4 outs to the boat).

    Blah, don't post results if you want further help. It creates bias and clouds people's objective views on how best to think of the hand step by step.

    fold pre-flop. villian has 88 and the flop is going to come 8 J A and you won't improve.
