I feared the ten, obviously. And gave the winner the free ace. Bet the turn? Blocking bet? Apparently he wasn't folding...his hand actually looked a lot better on the turn. He caught up with AK/AQ, at least.

You slow down on that turn?

Find a new seat or table.

Bet the pot on the turn and you take it. If they call then you know they have an 8 or T. If they reraise, they have an 8 or T and you should fold. You gave them the free river card by checking.

This is why I hate posts with results...

Would you really bet the pot on the turn with a pretty hefty pot and 2 players to act here? There is 2 pair on the board and with as many players there were to the flop here (I don't even want to count), it's likely somebody has a boat here. I think this hand was played fine.

Also, the potsize on the turn is about $17, nearly all of hero's remaining chip stack. If someone behind him does 'reraise' (raise), are you really telling him to fold another ~$2 into the pot?

Fnord, we could just ignore it.

I'll try to remember that. Usually someone asks for them, though.
