doesnt sound like you didnt want a caller so you made the right bet, no?

Standard.

The ten doesn't scare me. I bet the same as you on the turn anyway, because the stakes afford you that luxury without losing too much value. Go deep and get followed. That's the name of the game at these levels.

Don't forget, if you get called by the made straight, you still have 10 outs

decidedly -EV preflop call......with villain at $12 and change you should absolutely not call more than $1 because you won't take his stack nearly every time you hit, and you will even occasionally lose your whole stack to an overset.

fold preflop

I also don't like the preflop call, too much money going into a hand where you have to hit good to make money. I'd probably call with 9s and up, fold the lower ones.

[ThelVlaster]

i thought you could call preflop if the bet was 1/10 of his stack. But thats just assuming you are going to get his stack, these guys were loose and they probably don't have AA or KK, I see what you guys are getting at.

Adding in some room for profit and fuge factor, you need at least 10x the pre-flop raise worth of chips in BOTH stacks that you think you can get in the pot if you hit your set to call that bet. You probably can subtract a little for each additional caller, but not quite 10x because of the additional chance of a better 3 of a kind, flush or straight.

Plus the pot was 3 way, so this should be +EV in the long run right?

Not to stray from the preflop call, but on the turn when i see a guy raise that much UTG+1 and then flat call a preflop reraise, It sounds to me like a guy with AA KK or AQ trying to see the river cheap. The T shouldn't scare you, give a value bet like 3 or 4 dollars, he may cold call you not wanting to throw away his hand, value bet the river again.
