Printing money with two pair

[drmcboy]

had been at table for 20 mins or so, drglen was active, the one hand I'd seen him show he was calling biggish bets with Q9 on a AQJ board (amazingly opp also had Q9!). My head said if he called the raise on the turn I was beat, but my gut said call the AI and I went with it. Raise the flop here? Something different on the turn? It worked out but I don't really care for the way I played it.

Glad you were right, but I think his bet was too high for you to call with anything less than trips or TOP 2 pair.

Glad you got it, but don't be so willing to call away so much money on that hand.

very scary, but little did he know you were a 91% favorite to win that hand. Action depends on the read, but i'd probably call.

In late position I will always limp in with A2s, A3s, A4s, A5s. Can it also be profitable to continually limp in from an early position (folding to raises behind) looking for the monster flop.

Assuming that you don't overvalue your hand when you get an A on the flop, I would have thought that the profit from a few big wins would exceed the many tiny losses.
