    Default Too quick to re-raise?

    Should I have used more caution on this flop, or was I right in getting all my money in?

    Looks good to me, he would have played 66 and 88-AA the same way. Though I have noticed lately that fish usually play sets this way. They come out with a pfr, and then check min raise you. I'm still paying this one off though. Good play, just unlucky IMO.

    Agree with above... it's OK against a short stack... now what if villian had you outstacked, how far would you take this before you realized you were beat? I guess it depends on how much he bet...

    With 2 pair on an uncoordinated board facing resistance, I always consider the possibility of a set or higher 2pair. A read on the opponent also helps. With two pair on a nasty board like this, a lot of hands are kicking your ass so I wouldn't consider this an allin hand.
