    Strange play, especially his river raise. heh.

    Suppose the moral of the story is "if you are going to limp jacks, then don't get too attached to your overpair".

    yeah, when he acted like that on the flop I figured he would hang himself if I acted scared... so I did, and he did...

    Well, considering his short stack, I suppose he had pot odds to go all in. But yeah...

    I dont think he played them that bad. Its would be hard to read that you hit tp on the flop. So he reraised to get information. On the turn he probably put you on trip 10s, so he checked it to you. But on the river, going AI was a mistake, I dont know what he was thinking. He was probably sick of being sh and tried to bluff you out of it (as weak of a bluff as it is). His only bad play was on the river.

    He has already been checked to on the turn. If the thought he was ahead he should bet.
    I don't mind his flop raise. Your opp will only flop 2 pr 2% of the time. Who is to know that this is one of those times.
    I certainly wouldn't pull the river raise though. Get out with the Ts paired on the board. To make the river bet he has to think you are betting middle flop pair. LOL
