Hello all,

Was my move correct? Or should I have folded after the re-raise?

Preflop: Hero is BB with A♥: T♥:

Flop: ($0.37) Q♥: A♠: T♦: (2 players)

Turn: ($4.01) 8♥: (2 players, 1 is all-in)

The button can do this (for value) with QQ/TT/KJ/AQ, and (rarely) with some of the remaining 4 combos of AT (with which you only spilt). It adds up to 3 + 3 + 16 + 6 = 28 value combos. Deduct 10 combos for slowplaying -> 18 value combos.

Throw in 2 combos of mistaken value raises (e.g. AK, stupid to raise on this board).

Now, your pot odds for a call are 1.2:0.47 or about 2.5 to 1. He needs to be bluffing about 8 hands for a profitable call. 6 bluffs together with the 2 mistaken value raises would make a call profitable. But wait! Even I he does bluff that much, remember as well your position. He can still bluff you out on the river (gonna call if K/J falls OTR?). On the (only) bright side, you have a couple of outs.

Thus, don't call unless you know him to be a maniac.

About the same reasoning applies to shoving.

Naturally, you have to make your own assessment of his range and tendencies, the above is just an example of how it could look. Put your own numbers in - or use Equilab. If you use Equilab, use it wisely. (If you find your equity is pretty good, just remember he isn't going to call with hands you beat. Equilab is "perfect" only when all in already.)

Final though: Two pair in nominally a fine hand. But don't forget the board structure and the action. Here top and bottom pair sucksX(

I would second this.

It is very understandable you want to get it in here, but take a moment to really think about it.
You 3bet preflop. What hands do you think your opponent puts you on when you do that? Still, he reraises you on this flop although you can easily have hit it very hard.
I think he will have AQ, TT or KJ a lot. I think this is actually his whole range apart from the very occasional bluff. But on this board, bluffing after a 3bet? probably not.

Also: there is no flushdraw possible.

Villains range is probably strong but I'm not sure if I could fold here. If we just call villain has a shove OTT and his range is so strong that he will probably call our shove with his whole range OTF. So I think shove is better option than call. If he has some AK and maybe AJs (because top pair and nut gutshot and BDFD), maybe we are doing ok.

We should fold as here we are facing a 2p+ hand and we don't even have the top 2p...
