Should I have raised at any point along here or have I played it okay so far and just call the two all ins or fold?

You play small pairs for implied odds. Missed the flop, check is fine. When you hit you check. Thats perfectly fine. Some might say bet to build a pot. Both plays fine.

Trishan do you call the two all ins?

At these stakes Matty I can't hit call fast enough.

i think you played it ok up until this point.

personally, i dont like limping any pocket pairs, i either raise them, or fold them. in this case i would probably fold pre. but if the table is pretty passive, then limping is ok.

on the turn, it is a bit of a tough one.

56 is in both of the players ranges.

they both check the flop, then go crazy on the turn? thats a bit weird.

my guess is that one of them has 56. the other possibly has a slow played 2 pair or a set, or A4dd

tought spot, but you have plenty of chips to play with if you fold. trishan is right though, the stakes are small, so random 2 pair and top pair hands do crazy stuff like this too.

This.

Well I do call. It is only $2.20 after all...

River is Ad with BB having 56o and C/O with 35c's. So I lose out.

Thanks for the comments.

Took me a while to be able to say this (and sometimes I still can't) but that's just an outcome - you played the hand right.

Sometimes I like a limp with a low pocket pair, it can be a good way to get paid.

Unfortunatly this situation did not work out that way, but I would have played it the same way for a $2.20 buy.........for the chance.

Had the buy in been $200..........that changes things. I would have folded pre in that position.

Are you sure - drawing straightening board and I am pretty sure one of the all ins has the str8 already.

I'm not sure if stacking off here is the right play, too many hands have you beat and too many other hands have you stacking off pretty light on the redraw.

Food for thought.
