Would any of you guys fold bottom two pair to an all bet in a NL game? As a part of my fortuitous streak last night in a frat game, I won with bottom two pair, but I still wonder if my all in there was a good choice.So aggressive/loose player raises preflop to $4, I call from SB with 10 9 suited (with about $60, he has over $100). Flop comes down K 10 9, rainbow; he checks to me, I bet about $8, he raises me all in. I think it about for a long while - K 10 and QJ are both likely, but I've seen him slow-play big hands, so I rule out QJ. K 10 is a definite possibility, set less likely. But I figure, I have to play my two pair at this loose table, and call - he turns over AA, doesn't improve and I double up. Now, would any of you fold this hand? Thanks-YLi

Ring game? I'd consider it. Tournament? In a heart beat.

I would have played it the same way with maybe a little slower play on the flop. Hey to win at poker you have to be able to take the marginal hands, pull off the fast and slow plays, and somewere along the way pic up some good hold cards. In my not yet pro opinion two pair on that flop is good to go for 60 bux. DN has said ify cards that improve on the flop are worth some gambling
