I destacked a guy with my TPGK...

...but I'm not sure if I did a correct AI reraise. Still lack of experience and over aggression, I guess.

Fold the flop here? What a solid TAGG player would do here?

At these stakes I make this play all day long.

Its fine. At these stakes these guys treat A-10 the same as AK. Pay off a set and AK.

But at the same time, these are the stakes where these guys think everyone's bluffing. If you raise pre-flop and bet on the flop, you obviously missed (their mindset) so take them down for a ride.

Do it over and over. Rinse and repeat and you move up in stakes :)

classic case of the "at these stakes" explanation.

I love this play with a read. "Overvalues Ax" is one of the easiest reads to get on your opponents at any level. As soon as you see them unable to muck Ax (although hanging on to top pair/crap kicker is the same type), make them pay. I like to have 2 pair when I do it, and I will bet big on the flop and open push the turn. So many people call. You can do it here as well, because not being able to fold an ace when an ace flops is so common at these levels, but to feel real comfortable pushing I like at least two pair. Did you have a read here? If so: ni han.

Well, it would have to be, because at higher stakes, that re-re-raise indicates TPMK is beat. But nice play here.

classic lower level play.
Happens all the time.
call all day long
they have no idea about position, calling with dominated hands and level 2 thinking
what does my opponent have? (especially to raise for 5bbs preflop)
