Man i hate making 2 pair. Im def putting a pot size raise in here. I cant cold call and let the BB keep drawing. If hes got you, hes got you. I felt this probably.

I think you need to have a sense of what he's raising the button with. Did he flop a set and slow-play or turn two pair? I think I stack off here.

Totally depends on the specific villain. Anyone who's fancy and loves to bluff and semibluff, you get it in. If it's a really solid villain, you fold, because nobody is raising one pair here for value.

I think PF is pretty bad.

edit: I also didn't check the date on this post before replying. I didn't even know we had forums!

Nath, the villian raises on the button 3 out of 4 times per orbit and when he shows down a hand it could be any of the top 50% of hands. I am usually ahead of his range with an A. When you say my call is bad, would you fold against this type of loose villian?
