SlappYou doesn't show [ 6s, 8s ] two pairs, eights and sixes.
grandmastaIN wins $49 from the main pot with two pairs, aces and fives.

Should the raise have told me he just paired his kicker or hit a straight? This hand pissed me off more than any other tonight.

I am so sick of my 2 pairs never winning. I guess I suck with them. The only action they get is when theyre beat. The best pots Ive gotten out of two pairs were maybe off of moron calling stations - but even then the board counterfeits them half the time.

You can't really get away from this hand. He's not betting enough to have you worried at all. In fact, you probably should have lost more. At no point here unless you KNOW his cards should you fold. You have to be at least that confident with your two pair.

I know the feeling though. two pair cost me close to $800 yesterday.

"Two pair isnt a liscense to print money"

not much you could have done but especially when flopping bottom two pair dont expect to win as these are easily outdrawn on

yeah, flopping two pair always shrivles the sack a little bit. Almost impossible to lay down, but sooo scary.
