    Would you call the river? It kind of looks like a draw gone wrong?
    Still I don't feel comfortable calling the river especially when the middle pair paired.(T). No reads on villain.

    Played good. You can't call that river without reads.

    That bet on the flop could either be blocker for some OESD or bet to throw you off with stronger hand like 2 pr or set. Can't call that river. Your hand isn't that strong.

    He could easily be content to c/c turn since the board would not be that scary to his made hand.

    Definite fold against an unknown. You would lean closer to a call if the flop had been flushy, but it wasn't, so there really aren't that many draws he could have had. Looking this over, I think his range is polarized between air and having you smoked - more the latter than the former - and the pot odds aren't good, so just fold it. If he blows you off a pot again later you can start to think about looking him up on hands like this.

    Okay. thanx gueys.

    What do you mean when you say his range is polarised? So very weak and very strong hand and nothing in between?
    What kind of a range would you put him on?
  6. #6
    Yes, polarized = opposite ends of the spectrum (thus air and super good)

    Range of better Queens, two pair, boats and bluffing mised KJ-J9 straight draws. His push could easily be a boat of some kind hoping you can't let go of the trips 10s you hit.

    BTW....I've notice in several of your posts...don't post the results of the hand and cut off the hand history at the point of your decision if it's not about all streets. It will help advice givers be more subjective.
