two pair OTR villain raises mw

I think both checking and betting the flop are fine, but I lean more towards checking OOP. Don't think IP player should probe too often on K high boards vs your range. You should be checking some Kx (KJ, KT) too.
I don't think you'll get called often by much worse and you're right when you say it is a thin value bet.
When they both call you are behind. Turn I don't mind giving up.
River you improve and bet/fold is definitely the line here. Kx won't raise. You don't get bluffed enough or at all I would say. You still have a strong perceived range and top pairs with flush blockers should call sometimes.
I don't find much bluffs you can have, although you don't really need to have a bluffing range vs 2 opponents.

This is a new angle of view in this hand because I would definitely bet those to get a value from their weaker Kx hands.

The thing is that CO shouldn't have weaker Kx, like K9 or below when you open from UTG. Would be thin too.

Fold PF, you don't need to have this hand in your UTG range at 5NL zoom. Check OTF, as played x/f OTT and b/f OTR is fine.

Well, Confidant91 and Fallout86, they both have this hand in the opening range from UTG in their beginner's course.
You're right I don't need to have this hand in my UTG range but I like to play this hand.

I like checking/raise flop with this hand. As played, i go bet/fold river too.

I would play the same as u did

If I cbet vs 2 i would cbet larger blocking 99, and very unlikely to encounter 22 at all. 75% to 100% the bigger it is the most discouraging will be to continue with trash! The point is folding out there equity and protecting ours with such vulnerable hand, which we simply haven't enough equity to X/C! If they are CSs we should simply x/f:)
X/r is also an option, but we need info and enough aggression to make it work!

87s is obligatory open for EP, even 76s is;)

It's not wrong of course, but, this hand wont win much and you'll often end up in difficult spots, you'll waste time and energy, this is zoom, time is money, you can fast fold to much more profitable and easy hand. Regular tables is another story I can have this hand or not, depends on the players.

Ok, thank you for your explanation, I will keep it in my mind.
