I think everyone before me explained it pretty well. As Ugi said it's one thing if you raise against a bunch of limpers to try and take it down in late position as you are, but limping with that hand is not a good idea. You should raise the flop for sure. Wanting to keep people in with that hand is just not good, it's not even top 2.

Yes good point, top and bottom two is the most dangerous of the two pair hand, since there are the maximum number of cards that can counterfeit you.

Fold PF no question, unless you want to steal b/c there are limpers than you could play it for a raise but that would be very dependant on what you know from the other players at the table. As played you have to raise this flop what are you hoping for flat calling here? Personally you got lucky and flopped 2 pair I want to win this pot now before it can go any further.

On the flop: BB bets $15, Hero calls $15....

I didn't make it past this part b/c my eyes reacted as though 12Normal Hydrochloric Acid had been sprayed into them from a super soaker that holds approximately 5 gallons of liquid (hypothetically, I don't think the plastic tank can hold acid, as it would burn significantly through... as my eyes did after this part).

Ok, enough of that. I'm pretty sure the regulars have handled this post quite well. Nothing to see, here, move along.
