    2 pair gets counterfeitted BvB

    One play I like to make periodically is a "delayed blind steal" by limping my SB and betting almost any flop. After I've done it to somebody a time or two I typically try to mimic it w/ a good hand.

    I had done this to him a few times, so when I flopped 2 pair I decided not to slowplay because I had less FE than normal. Is this line fine?

    I'm not sure I like my turn/river action tbh. After checking turn, my river blocker bet seems to exploitable I think.

    I think limpin strong after you have been limping and betting any flop bvb is totally legit...i do this all the time.

    I may have raised or even just shoved here with an ace because I want to pick up that 750. This is a very easy time to grab the blinds.

    Since you did limp (which is fine to mix in and do as you explained) I think betting the flop is a MUST on that flop. You want value, and you want to build the pot. I think the turn check is the only option. But I think the river was a very big mistake. I would have check called a very high percentage of the time. When you bet here, you will either be called by an Ace (that checked preflop and now you only split it with him?? unlikely...but shitty), called by a trip Kings, or raised by both hands that beat you AND bluffs.

    I think check calling for showdown is key.

    I completely agree on every aspect of this. As I was reading the original post, these are almost the exact words I was thinking I would post.
