    We have the second worst 2 pair. Literally only had i can see we beat is QJ, maybe QTdd but even then i wouldn't be comfortable. 

    I think this is a fold.

    I think it's definitely ace 10. Cos if he has 2 pair also is happy inflating the pot when theres so many draws out there

    AQdd maybe would. Forgot about that.

    However as we're readless i guess we have to assume AJ/AQ isnt in range (unless its AQdd) and maybe an overplayed AK can be there i guess. Axdd possibly could but i still think thats too small of his range. 

    Alot of my thought here is we're readless so maybe some hands youve mentioned can be within a range here, but readless i think we have to assume they have the nuts. But i will say theres far more than AT they can have here, but KQ,KK,QQ,JJ,AT,9T all beat us. Lots of other hands that our maybe a slight favourite against us, Txdd.

    It's nice of him to tell you that you're crushed by clicking it back to you... Thank him (in your head) for being so generous with that information and fold.

    As for the call pre-flop, I think you need to tell us whether that was reasonable. If your reason for calling was that "Hey I have KJ and it's only 30p" then that's bad. What are your thoughts on your opponents' ranges and what's the plan for the flop i) when we have top-pair ii) when we have nothing?
