Can you expand on why we would stack off/continue with bottom 2 pair + FD, but in some cases fold top 2?
ie...With top 2 we have card removal against top/middle set, with bottom 2 we unblock top pair/set and I would think are more likely to be up against top set, or at best top pair with 9 side cards to improve to a better 2 pair, plus any other improvements opponent may have (FD and or SD).
Hello! With bare top 2 pair we do block our opponent's top and middle sets, but if we are up against such combos, we are almost dead, and with bottom 2 pair + FD we have more equity against a set. That's why in some scenarios, playing a big pot on a dynamic flop, we'd rather have a weaker made hand along with a strong draw rather than a stronger made hand without a draw.

Great video!
12:35 most all of these hands have back door flush draws. Without those, are these still calls?
Thanks!
Hello! Thank you!
Yes, we still call with all those hands even without BDFD
