well you called a 5x BB raise with a terrible hand in the worst position at the table. fold preflop. on the flop you got raised bigtime, then there was a caller, then you called, then there was another caller. thats 4 people seeing the flop in a big pot, you cant possibly think your 2 pair is going to hold up, especially with the preflop betting and 2 paint cards showing up.

raise preflop... hehe just kidding... in the micros you gotta be incredibly tight preflop because you lose a lot of folding equity since everyone there will call you down.

If you feel saucy, you can push on the the flop after the .50 raise. The pot is big and you are only behind if the raiser has a set.

fold preflop, but once you're in that situation, it all depends on the table. at .01/.02, assuming everyone is terrible, i'm probably reraising the flop, with the intention of pushing whenever my next chance to act is. you're really only fearing sets, and unless he has kk i doubt you're against one. even then, i think ak or aa are more likely and you might as well just go for it.

ok, besides not calling. when you are reraised on the flop you either FOLD or PUSH. Your hand isn't improving any time soon.
