Thoughts appreciated guys.

It was only a $5 2nd chance MTT - Invested a $5 and thought if I had taken this pot I had a good chance of winning it.  I played pretty solid all night, and this was almost the perfect flop for me.  I never had any of them on an Ace as there was no pre flop raise, similarly I never put either on a PP.  did I just try and get too clever when I flopped 2 pair?  I was looking to get as many chips as possible and felt that I could get one of them to bet into my two pair.

I suppose the warning sign should have been there when he check called the bet on the turn.

But to be honest I never gave it much though when I pushed on the river.  I think that now having thought it through I played it quite poorly.  I should have probably been looking to raise on the flop once they put the 1800 in each.

A bit unlucky here me thinks however I would have liked to have seena  raise on the flop. I'm not to keen on flatcalling when holding 2 pair. the pot is fairly big (about 1/3rd of your chips stack) so I would have stuck 5k in and hope to get one caller.

you need to raise here post flop.  your hand is too vunerable against two players. LarsD is betting out for information. you need to give him the info that he's behind. If he calls and hits then good luck to him, but he will be the one making the mistake, not you.

I also HATE the bet on the end. I dont see how it can win you any chips.
