FLop 2-pair against a LAGG

Reads: this donkey was min raising with shit everyhand if he catches a pair on the flop he would raise/bet 2x BB everytime.... then if he had a good hand pre-flop he would limp, very simple to read!

I'm re-raising for sure in this situation. I am not sure if I am getting all my chips in now or on the turn. If he has an A here, he'll probably call your push.

However, if he spikes his other pair with his A or your bottom two gets counterfeited, you can look back to your decision to call this hand from UTG as the reason you went bust here.

Is this the edge you're looking for? I fold preflop.

I don't get it. Who's the donkey, the megatack using his chips to push the table around or the No. 2 stack on the bubble calling 32 UTG?

In any event, what better flop were you hoping for?

[Death_Kube_K]

well why use your chips to push the table around for only 200 chips?? anyways thats the flop i was hoping for, i wanted to only lose 200 chips but i know he would pay me off if i did hit something..... what i did was re-raised to 800 and he pushed i called and he had 3-8....... i won the hand and went on to win the tourney!

Because 200 chips is a significant number of chips given the stack sizes in play. Of the min-raise in the blind is absurd and you got lucky to beat a hand that dominated you preflop.

Ok thanks for the advice all............
NOTE TO SELF: DONT CALL THE BB UTG WITH 2-3SUITED........

after rethinking i should of waited for a better spot for him to pay me off, i was getting tired and i was sick of that guy

And this is why playing a loose aggressive style can be very effective. It can put your opponents on such extreme tilt that they decide to take you on with 32, the worst hand in Hold'Em.
