  2. I like the play, you raised preflop with a limper in front (something done to disguise your hand) a play I do sometimes. This guy might put you on two high cards or an over pair, so if he's flopped two pair (all two pair you're beating) he'll come along for the ride, plus u have a re-draw to the flush.
  3. Preflop play is a little iffy to me, but I like your play after the flop.

    You define your hand as strong on the flop and he calls. My worry here is suited paint, 87s, TT, or 99 (I think if he has a pair better than TT preflop, he re-raises preflop). Likely are 55-88, only 1 of which has you beat. I would think he reraises you on the flop with a set or overpair, so maybe eliminate those. Maybe this is too optimistic...discuss if you like.

    Turn bet is probably ac close to perfect as it gets. You're really strong. He had to have you beat on the flop to have you beat now (exception of 87s). So, assuming you were the best on the flop, you still are the best and should take the pot down here with top two.
