    Default Two Pair Hand

    How do you handle the raise here? I know that 75o is not usually a hand to start with, but I'm playing laggy to practice post-flop skills. It's an interesting hand. \

    Fold when he min raises the turn. Min bets in multi way pots on the flop = a weakass blocking bet (that a lot of people fall for) with a draw, or a monster. This board is 100% draw free. He either has a set, or a better two pair. I personally lead the turn for a little less after i see that bet on the flop, maybe 1/2 the pot instead of the full pot. I expect to get raised here very often. KK might smooth call because almost every otehr hand is drawing dead, but i figure that to be unlikely given the pre flop action. 22, 77, K7, all should reraise you here and you will be able to get away from it.

    This could also be a fish slow playing AK like he thinks TPTK is the nuts. A read would be beneficial here. But i fold to the turn raise, not push.

    Not raising the flop is not laggy, it's just loose passive.

    Can't tell if you are beat on the turn raise, but the call indicates it's likely. Other possible hand: AXd, especially if X = 3,4 or 7.
