Showing One Pair vs Two Pair Heads Up to Encourage Opponent to Bluff

[Mike_25]

When holding one pair against an opponent with two pair heads up, should I always fold or is there a scenario where I call to trap their potential bluff? In my experience, a loose and aggressive player holding two pair might still bluff at me on the river if they miss a third card. My one pair is good enough on that board that I can call their probable bluff and win the pot. What do you think? Should I call with one pair to trap an obvious bluff from overconfident opponents holding two pair?

Additionally, revealing one pair can provide important details about your opponent's propensity for bluffing. You can modify your strategy and take advantage of their actions in succeeding hands if they routinely fall for the bait and bluff when you reveal one pair.
