Hey mate,

I think I would play this hand prety much the same way you did. I'd be slighty concerned of him having a OESD and FD, which have really good equity against my hand, but given that he opened EP, it is not all that likely. As it turns out, he did have SC's.

In my opinion, you played it fine, I would not be looking to slow play two pair here, as the board is wet and our hand is vulnerable. The only thing I think I would have done differently is the flop raise. When he pots the flop he's got like 2800ish behind, I think I would rather just put him in right there, as it is a mistake for him to call all in bet with a draw in my opinion. I might be wrong here tho.

I'd just shove once he pots it. Once someone pots they're so unlikely to fold to anything so I'd try to get it in vs. Kx before a turn card peels that could kill the action.

I agree with Coolers here. You got it in as almost a 70% favorite. Thats like AK vs A2 preflop.

Plus you have a reshove stack left to come back. Good job.

Once he pots the flop I think it is going in regardless tbh, either way.

for future posts end the hand with the action you would like to discuss to minimize results orientated feedback. But yeah, im getting it in on that flop.
