    I think we need to fold that. You've shown str and he's come over the top. I like to think of Two Pair as about the same as an overpair. Its strong, but only slightly stronger than 1 pair.
    Just dipping my toes back in.

    Preflop is not terrible, I'd prefer it if you closed the action but meh. Just don't forget why you're playing this (for 2 pair or better).

    On the flop, that is a tough spot, but I think I let it go. Opp minbet/shoved over your raise and a cold call, it would take serious balls to do that with something you beat.

    No, top two is a very strong hand which I'd go to the felt with on most boards (but not this one). If the flop had come QTx rainbow I'd be calling the shove super quick.

    So would I, because it beats any pair and any other two pair, but here we're worried about straights and flushes, and we only have 4 outs v's them.
