Playing top 2 pair

[donny111]

first level of an online tournament:
blinds 10-20 2000 in chips
first pot ive entered and i raise to 80 with AQ and get 1 caller.
flop comes AQ10. i bet 150 and get called
turn card comes an 8 and i bet 450 and get called.
river card comes another 8. (there is no possible flush )
WHAT DO YOU DO?

[amele751]

i would go all in. I dont think there is a trap there.

[Zerchai]

I think he may have TT. dont think he has a straight.So either a set or nothing.I cant suggest any right move here

[galpokergal]

i definetly make a value bet in that situation cuz is very dificult that the villain called with a 8 ur first bet right?
He probably has some ace or q or maybe T...
what u did?lol

[confused247]

I think I would value bet after the river. I could see his hand range being AJ, A10, KQ, 10s, or maybe a smaller pocket pair. If he flopped a straight or a set I would expect to see a reraise.

[hadiina]

just make a value bet,if u beat u beat,but there is a better strategy is to check and let him either bluff,in that case u win more money or if he has stright or even set,u lost minimum.

[Singertime63]

he has a/8 you lose

[ad87ag]

Value bet is the right option i think

[potfan42o]

id bet 1/2 the pot

[joefine]

check call assuming it's not a shove... there is already 1300 in the pot with with 1200 behind. if you bet and get called or reraised you leave yourself too short. all you really have is a good bluff catcher with that board.

I don't think he trip 8s in that spot, maybe flopped a straight or some ace x. but if you do bet you really are only getting called by a straight, boat or maybe AK.
