If I opened and flopped 2 pair on wet board, I will be c betting an amount to charge him for his draw while setting up a pot size bet on turn if turn bricks and is checked to us again. If he c/r the flop, getting it in and going to have to fade. You want always charge the villians when trying to hit a draw, but at the same time you don't want to price them out completely. If the villain happens to get there, unfortunately that is poker, however you had him put his entire stack in behind. Best of luck at the tables!

So you would bet 5bb to let him hit the flush on the turn??
Wouldnt you rather shove to make them pay max value to hit?
It depends on what we think is the best way to get value. I think that's the bottom line. It's not as much about “letting him hit” as much as it is about making him pay us off while we have the best hand.

Said it perfectly Rivermen.
Davey, sounds like you may have been involved in a couple of hands like this where the villain has hit his flush after you just made a standard bet or raise. It’s super frustrating, and can put you in the mindset where you just want to jam every flop (trust me, I’ve been there..)
But the fact is that your 2 pair will hold up more often than not, and it’s important not to miss value while you have the best hand.
Here’s hoping you fade the next few..
Good luck at the tables..

Does villain know his hand is exposed? If so, small bet flop, shove turn even if flush hits and villain folds to your obvious higher flush.
😉
Know this isn't what you're asking, but definitely did this to a guy who showed KK live thinking action was over when an A hit and I had 33. Works every time.
Thanks guys.
No i wasnt actually beaten by a hand like this i just thought in this scenario that both players know what hand the villian has, the villian will only call a flop bet and fold turn if he misses which means we only get 1 bet out of him. I thought if you shove the flop they could still call and when they miss you get the entire stack
Is my thinking wrong there?

pretty silly question the way you asked it.
in general with a draw you want to get the money in as early as possible and with a made hand you want to delay the timepoint when the money goes in.
the reason behind this should be clear
cheers
Actually I'd argue the opposite. All other things being equal, the player with more information about his opponent's hand benefits by leaving money behind to play future streets. If you know exactly which draw your opponent has, that's one thing. But if one player has a made hand with little chance of improving (say, an overpair without redraws) and the other has a draw on a board where multiple draws are possible, I'd say the latter is better equipped to make good decisions on the turn and river. He knows which cards actually improve him and which cards are scary to a hand that was made on the flop. For similar reasons, the player in position should generally prefer to avoid putting the money in on a flip on an early street, whereas a player OOP should welcome the opportunity.
