2.) two pair vs set, youll probably lose money every time. but something to think about...calling doesnt necessarily indicate weakness. it also represents strength. it says 'you cant push me out of this hand, i belong in here just as much as you.' i would have bet two pair the same but once again, getting married to one pair is never a good idea.

3.) you have a very weak hand here. what hand is going to call you that you have beat? only hands that will call are ones with a Q or ones with an A. i say you are either looking to tie or lose this pot. i would check/fold this one if ever given a sign of strength and since none was given id be happy to see a free showdown.

i agree with you that players this passive are annoying to play with. just make value bets (not all in after 7 cards with a pair) when you think youre ahead and youll be fine. youre not a terrible player by any means.
Thanks for the response Journey.

1) most of our stacks were already in by the river. It was more of a fromality of going all-in at that point. I figure he said to himself that he was pot committed at that point so what the hell. But I understand what your saying.

2) OK....I'm beginning to think the mentality on the 25NL tables at PP is a lot about just chasing every hand. Do other's see this or is it just me.

3) Very good advice. I guess my agression takes over when I have boat and I'm not getting any feedback other than a call. I'm thinking "oh....here's another chaser".

Thanks again for the feedback.
