Have i honestly played this so poor for pocket 2's to call on the flop?

Raise more preflop, flop is fine, turn you are pot committed and the donk donked out on you.

So just raise more preflop.

Preflop: Probably raise to around 250, after a raise and a call (oh, and fold if you get re-raised!)

Flop: Played pretty much perfectly, I think. Nice proper raise, not falling into the trap of raising to c. 350 or so after the initial min bet done to try and control the size of a re-raise, so congrats there.

Maybe you could re-shove after the SB goes all in, and UTG only calls?

Turn: As BlackFish says, you're pot committed, and couldn't get away in a month of Sundays even though the straight draw got there, though I doubt 3 6 would be involved in the pot after the PF action. Most importantly the flush didn't get there (even though we know know UTG wasn't on that draw) but it's got to be an insta-call the way the hand had played out.


At the end of the day, you managed to get 2 players effectively all in, on the flop 1 with a dominating pair, and the other with an underpair with his fingers crossed.

I couldnt shove after the shove it only gave me the option to call.

LOL_RAISE

unless you have any good reads on UTG id rather flat call that 3bet pre. if you are going to 3bet  raise more. i would actually make it smaller on the flop ~640ish
you got most of your stack in with the best hand why would you think you played it bad, just because someone binks 2outs on the turn?

YOUNG_GUN

Personally pre-flop i would have made it 250, that way UTG & or SB probably wouldn't be calling, although depends how aggressive they are any reads before hand? after flop pretty much played ok to me as always getting your chips in that spot, maybe on flop bit less to less commit yourself say 600, but still would have gone in. unlucky with the 22 hitting there mate but was cheap enough for them to call pre so thats the main problem here and still flipping with SB who had flush draw also, would have preferred to take pot and not see flop personally

What level is this? sit n go i assume
