2 pair any good here?
Early stages of a £5 DYM game. No real reads on either opponent mainly because I've got 2 other tables running & I'm kinda in auto mode on this one.
Having said that I have noticed that player 1 has been involved in a few pots so I think his range is probably wider than normal but I don't recall seeing player 2 involved much so far.
So I get to see a free flop from the BB & hit well. I figure that more often than not I'm good here so raise it up. When I get two callers I figure at least one of them must have a 10 in their hand but I can't see either of them playing T4 or T5 here.
I think the turn is a bit of a scary card as it brings in a couple of possible straight draws. I may have made a mistake in betting out here but when I get a flat call behind & a c/c from the SB I'm not convinced my 2p is all that good.
When player 1 bets out on the river I get a horrible feeling that I've been outdrawn here. Given that this is early doors in DYM (or any tourney for that matter I suppose) is this a clear cut fold or would anyone consider a call. My other worry about making this call is that I've still got player 2 to act & he's flatted everything so far.

Also it was a limped pot so they could have liturally anything including a lot of bigger two pairs to yours.
Overall it's a fold for me, you have over 2k if you fold and from my experiance that is plenty to go on and cash but 1360 means you'll be soon in shove fold and liable to go out.
