    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?

    sejje checks.
    bosman12345 checks.
    fnangys bets [$1].
    RikkySlade calls [$1].
    u2canclimb raises [$2].
    sejje calls [$2].
    bosman12345 calls [$2].
    fnangys calls [$1].
    RikkySlade calls [$1].

    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?

    sejje is all-In [$26.50]
    bosman12345 is all-In [$21.45]
    fnangys folds.

    I think sometimes I would raise the flop. Otherwise I play it fairly similar.

    Fold preflop. What would happen if you got the flush on the turn or river?

    i dont think you play this pot badly at all.
    with the straight and probably the nut draw you have to call the turn push. if you arent good for a split then you are probably 9 outs from the pot which is fairly juicy.
    I guess from opps position you could put him on QT if hes a decent player but if hes loose id assume he has a just a ten like you. Gotta call for me though.
