sejje ???

Want to know how you proceed here?

I usually would bet the flop 2/3 or a pot - on this flop though, I'm scared of what might raise me. I don't think a lot of hands raise besides a made straight -- which would reduce my hand to a flush draw or possibly draw to a split.

So I played the flop like a retard, see below.
**Edit** I play the flop like this a lot with just a ten...I feel like not many hands are going to pay off once a 6 or J hits, so I usually fold these to a bet that doesn't give odds. The flush draw along with it though changes things. What's your usual play?

By the time it got back to me, the pot was looking nice just for a flush draw. Then comes the turn, and more decisions.

So, this really is my big decision and the question of the day. How often does he have QT here? I think with the size of the pot this is a pretty easy call. Do you guys like betting out ahead of this? I was going to checkraise all-in, but this was a pretty strange push, rather than value-bet.

Anyway, I call, and I assume I'm nearly always freerolling. Yeah?
