Two pair seems to be the hand I lose the most money on. I always end up playing this hand wrong. I can tell after the hand is over that I played it wrong, and how I should play it next time I get it. I just never make the right move when I get this hand. Try these scenarios and tell me how you would play. Let's say a basic SnG with 10 people, small stakes, early in the tourney.
1) You are big blind. You have 10/3 offsuit. The flop comes:
10s, 3c, 5d.
Small blind has folded, and only one other player who limped in. What should you do here?
2)You are in 6th spot. You call the blind with 9/10d. No raises, the small blind folds, big blind checks. The flop comes:
9s, 10s, Ac.
Big blind raises.
What should you do here? Any thoughts are appreciated.

depends what position and how many other players in the pot.
Do you find you are going broke on the flop/turn/river with two-pair. If people are flopping out-flopping you with sets thats one thing, another if they have draws and are out drawing you on later streets.
in the second example depending on the exact situation, you want to extract value from ace-rag, dont give people very good odds to draw to and be prepared to lay it down to any fierce resistance because you're probably up against better two-pair or a set. I would lead out for a pot-sized bet on that flop.
