    Default Two hands. How to play 1010, Call shorty allin?

    Hand 1

    Shorty is new, no prior reads. Flop bet smells like a bluff to me, but sudden push on turn makes me wonder otherwise.


    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Button ($12.20)
    SB ($49.55)
    BB ($24)
    Hero ($36.90)
    MP ($8.25)
    CO ($27.80)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q, J.
    Hero raises to $0.75, 2 folds, Button calls $0.75, 2 folds.

    Flop: ($1.85) T, Q, 6 (2 players)
    Hero checks, Button bets $3, Hero calls $3.

    Turn: ($7.85) 9 (2 players)
    Hero checks, Button bets $8.45 (All-In), Hero ??


    Hand 2

    Guy has been TAG, solid player. Normally I limp 22-99 looking for sets and call small raises, but now I'm considering adding 1010 to that group as well. Very tough to play 10's in raised pots when overs hit. when the flush hits, I consider myself beat -- either he had the jack, or had the FD.

    Only way I feel like I coulda played the hand was to re-raise him to $5 on the flop, but any jack and some flush drawers call any way.

    Button ($5.65)
    SB ($47.20)
    BB ($23.65)
    Hero ($57.80)
    MP ($24.30)
    CO ($26.20)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with T, T.
    Hero raises to $1, MP calls $1, 2 folds, SB calls $0.90, 1 fold.

    Flop: ($3.25) 8, 3, J (3 players)
    SB bets $1.5, Hero calls $1.50, MP folds.

    Turn: ($6.25) 4 (2 players)
    SB bets $1.25, Hero?

    That first one is a difficult spot, I think you should bet the flop if you dont think you can take heat.

    The second one is interesting, I think your opponent actually has a set and is giving himself odds to draw to a boat because he knows you're weak.

    Yep, that's what I did and first guy had a weaker queen and I took the pot. Second one I was looking for maybe some creative advice on playing 10s' but I guess it was pretty straightforward.
