Another TT hand.

I called the large pre-flop bet because I had position on him, then didn't use it. I guess at the time I put him on a slow played AA to QQ just because of the large preflop bet.

Should I have bet the flop? Raised the turn? Bet the river? All of the above?

I certainly think calling that turn bet was stupid if I wasn't going to try and push him off the hand.

Do you always limp TT preflop? Preflop call is meh. I'd probably just dump it because of stack sizes, but if you are that sure he has an overpair, plus the other caller, it might be an okay call. As played, definitely fold the turn. What are you hoping for by calling? In general position is less of an advantage when a lot of money goes in early like preflop and flop, and when the pot is multi-way, since people are forced to play more honestly in multi-way pots.

I play on these tables - in fact, i believe I've played against you a few times. I make it $1.50 preflop - the hand plays differently from then on. As played I fold the turn.

I raise TT from late position, but limp from early to mid and call most raises.

Agreed I should have folded preflop because of stack sizes.

Probably taken a few stacks of mine as well. What's your alias?

I'm xxJimmyMacxx on there. I'm guessing you are FlyingPeng1. I just went through my PT - It has you pegged as a rock, but we haven't got involved in any big pots together. I'll be on there in a bit when I've had some food.

Raise those Tens, man

I agree--I raise TT as well.

Did you have reads or stats against them? I at least put a bet out on the flop and can lay it down to aggression if necessary.

I play these tables too. I have played against both of you but not much.

Hope to see you around there more....

Limping tens from any position is terrible. I raise PF with as low as sixes, even from EP.
