Bottom Two Pair

[ashmc2]

OK, my latest ass-ache – Bottom 2 pr.

Does anyone slowplay these bastards?

I don’t usually slowplay them, but I do usually underbet a little to keep people around if the board seems unthreatening. The problem is that lately I’ve noticed that if on the turn or river an Ace comes or the board pairs the high card my hand quickly becomes 2nd best.

It seems to me though, that if I always ram with B2pr that I’m losing profits in the long run, because a lot of the time they won’t hit their 2 pair.

Anyone agree/disagree?

Does anyone always bet hard with B2pr?

Similar, but different thing happened in this week’s cash game
Ex. I’m holding 56 on the bb.
Flop – 556
I slowplay and turn and river bring 88
Dude had an 8 and bang there goes half my stack.
I know I’m just being results oriented here, but damn it hurt my bottomline in this week’s cash game.

OK, I’ve rambled enough, later.
