I occationally play a little PLO high to break up my routine, usually its
a SnG but will somtimes sit in on a cash game or two.

Since joining Full Tilt a few months ago I noticed alot of opps over valuing top pair and 2 pair. Betting very aggresively on all streets, even on drawy boards. I am very often surprised how often I see 2 pair win pots. AA they play like the uber-nuts. so many times I see a board pair plus an AA hole cards for top two.

I usually play 2 pair cautously. Am I wrong here???

I have been camping for sets, str8s and flushes etc. against these oops and reaping big pots.

Just want to make sure I'm not missing something here as I don't play PLO as much as hold'em.

Thanks,
Why is it a penny for your thoughts but
you have to put your 2 cents in??

Somebody's making a penny!!

 2 pair and bottom sets are very hard to play well. If all the money goes in on the flop with these kinds of hands you're looking at a small favorite/huge dog scenario (much like getting all in with a small pocket pair in NLH preflop).

For the low limits, just keep camping those hands but also don't be afraid to get very aggressive with big draws against guys who will overvalue 1 and 2 pair hands.

By playing your draws fast, they will look you up more often with top 2 pair type hands and later end up crushed when you do the same with top/mid set.
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.
