    whatever you do, don't fold.

    Raise more on the turn, never fold on the river.

    push the turn, you don't want scare cards coming and killing your action.

    uh yeah this seems pretty standard, i would get all my money in on the turn when you are 95 percent certain you have the best hand. As played, i would still get all my money in on the river, i cant see how you are contemplating folding here..

    he shows T9 but w/e you cant expect him to have it every time.

    oops maybe i misread this a little bit, forget my 95 percent comment... but i still think i usually shove this turn maybe check/call the rest of the way.

    the reason that i called on the turn was because at 10NL (I dont know about other limits) villians bet very small on the flop in EP used as a blocking bet so they can drIaw with the right odds. So when i saw the bet on the flop I had him on either flush or straight draw. And when he raised on the turn i thought i could have been beaten. This is the reason i called.
    But I see how I have to push the turn regarless. Thanks for the advice. Im new to 6 max nl, and Im almost completed 10K hands at 10NL. I just bought PT, so this will be the first time I ever posted my stats so we can find some probably major leaks.

    If you put him on a straight or flush draw the flop raise is terrible. You're offering a 90c call into a $2.80 pot. Villains at 10NL will almost always call one bet, so you need to make it $2.30.

    qft.
    ive played a lil 10nl recently and some ppl really dont bet like that without T9, so i dont blame u for calling turn and river if ur read is that it 2pr isnt as likely. raising on the turn is good too. def dont fold the river though.
