Ugly 2 pair

[gnads]

Both blinds were just calling stations but what's a standard line against decent opponents? Are we waiting for a non spade turn to get more frisky or are we chasing away As/Ks on the flop? Or fold the flop altogether?

gnads,

I mostly raise this preflop, but a limp is okay if UTG and the blinds are huge calling stations postflop.
Flop is fine.
Turn I would raise to something like $15-18. check/fold river if a spade hits.
