Fine to call pre.
Wrong to bet out on flop. Check to see what happens.
Tturn bet fine.
River bet Wrong Wrong Wrong.

thanks for the advise. just 1 question tho, what do you think i should of done on the river?? check-fold or check-call a small to pot size bet?

Ipsofatso

Check fold. Against 2 players at least one has you beat.
It's hard to fold sometimes but no good putting good money after bad.
Folding to save money is almost as rewarding as winning

thanks again, taken aboad.

LOL_RAISE

either fold or raise pre IMO depending how bad the button is
bet flop bigger if you are going to bet it. i dont see anything too wrong with this btw.
turn bet is fine
i would bet/fold the river. lots of value from worse hands (they almost never have a better 2pair because they didnt reaise preflop) and fold to the raises quite easily.

The call pre is OK as it's so tempting with A in hand. You just have to remember that ur out of position and even if the Ace flops, ur never sure where u are in the hand.

I personally would bet 80 - 100 on that flop as 40 is gonna get called by a massive range of hands - any pair of any type, draws etc.

I like ur pot bet on the turn as it is not giving the draws the price to stay in.

River is yuk for ur hand and I would prob either bet/fold or even check and reevaluate after the action from the other 2 players behind u.  You could well be against busted draws who aren't gonna call another bet but by checking u are giving them a chance to try and bluff for the pot which u can then call. 

As played, after ur bet u were raised and reraised. That's the time u should be folding as ur 2 pair is not gonna be good there IMO.

Batkin88

raise pre 3 or 4x pre as out of posistion, then bet flop bigger, about 120 to 180. Then check turn and bet fold river if there is still two players in.
U will find betting the flop bigger would bring it down to HU hand very often.
Bet big get answers thats what i say ul tho
