Some sick levels in this thread.

Had a pretty similar hand in a GUKPT, and I shoved a set of queens, which was second top set. Got snapped up by a straight, but I thought it was really close. A respected player on the circuit said I should have check folded, and at the time I said yeah probably, but I think I was being results oriented. Obviously you can't compare hands directly, different table dynamics and all, but I think in this spot, Vaidas sometimes calls with AK (or other two pair combination) and sometimes folds.

The only consideration I think is important is if Vaidas bets his 2 pair on the end, or checks back. Personally, I don't think he's likely to value bet 2 pair thin here, so I guess I'm edging towards a check fold. Pretty close, and nice hand though.

Setting - I am in Day 1B of the £100 k guranteed £300 DTD: Starting stack of 15,000 - blind levels of 40 mins on a 9 handed table

Table Dynamics - Table is pretty nitty (seriously nitty) with serial limpers and poor bb in traps 2,3,4 - I am in trap 9 - players to my right are pretty weak passive yet Lithuanian in seat 1 is a maniac - who was literally playing like 80/70 for the first 3 levels with near enough infinite aggression post flop yet has quieted down a lot in the last 2-3 levels since the first break

In the last 3 hands the Crazy Lithuanian has won a 90 bb pot with AA v AK then loses a large pot with aq to 22 on a 2 x q a board blind v blind ( so he is kind of steamy)

We have history where I have opened 2 or 3 times in mid late position and have taken down on cbet flops or by bet, betting and when he had flopped the nuts twice on me and had been extremely aggressive with his nuts holdings

Level 6 – Blinds are 200/400/25 (full ring)  i have about 21.5 k covering Serial Limper and am covered by the Crazy Lithuanian

I am in the Low Jack with [ two spades Two Clubs]

Serial Limper calls UTG + 1
I isolate to [1525] in lowjack
Crazy Lithuanian Calls
Blinds Fold and Serial Limper calls

Flop

  two hearts [Pot just over 5k}

I cbet to 2125
Crazy Lithuanian calls

Turn

two hearts [ Pot just over 9k}

I bet 5600
Crazy Lithuanian calls

River

two hearts  [Pot just over 16 k}  

Effective Stacks are about 12 or 12.5k

What is our best option in this spot?
