Is this too weak? I've found myself overplaying two-pairs and low sets so I'm trying to learn how to fold them but obviously I folded the best hand here. I figure that with a load of draws out there's barely any cards I want to see on the river and if anyone has a bigger set I am drawing to one out. I prefer top two to a low set since it reduces the chance of a big set and leaves me with 6 outs against smaller ones. Both are trouble for me.

I don't always raise A2s but I figured the JT gave me enough high potential to do so. With so many players in I figured I would be raising for value most of the time with the nut low, correct? I'm guessing... no.

hand 1 = good fold

hand 2 = good value bet with so many in the pot... you kick yourself if no one else has A2 (it happens).

Hand 1
Good fold. I may have even folded on the flop but the way you played it is fine.

Hand 2
Good raise.
