    Flopped top 2 pair out of the big blind. Since there were 3 raises before me I decided to push all-in to get the flush draws out and possibly pick up the pot right here. I got called by one and he hit. The pot was about 11 dollars at the time, if I am reading this right, so I about doubled it. Too much, maybe just a pot sized bet or less and push the rest on the turn if the club doesn't come?

    Your play looks fine to me. Maybe you wouldnt want to go all-in b/c that just might buy the pot and its probably better to get HtoH action. You are probably a 2/3 favorite (with top 2-pair) on the flop or at worst even money with 2-opps in. Since 1 went all-in and 1-folded, thats what you wanted. You just got outdrawn.

    However, you might want to think to just to raise a good size instead of all-in. In anycase, if most of you chips are already in the pot by the turn, theres is not much you can do other than hope opp doesnt have flush.

    Its probably gambling on their part to call the AI, but if I had 1-overcard, flush draw, and gutshot... it would be tempting.

    Thanks for the reply. I'll be paying attention for situations like these in the future and maybe try varying my play.
