    Default Weak overpair, 3 way raised pot

    Ugh, spots like this make me cringe. Just sat down, few reads. I've been playing tight for about an orbit or so since I got here.. havn't seen villain raise preflop yet, but he's limped a couple times. Havn't seen anything particularly interesting to note here.

    Advice on all streets is welcome, especially the flop. I see legitimite arguments for calling, raising, and folding here, although folding seems very weak. As played, I don't think I can call or raise the second barrell on the turn. Thoughts on this hand?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    BB ($45.10)
    UTG ($98.20)
    UTG+1 ($99.60)
    MP1 ($29)
    Hero ($104.65)
    MP3 ($101.75)
    CO ($36.90)
    Button ($54.55)
    SB ($121.20)

    Preflop: Hero is MP2 with T, T.
    UTG raises to $5, 2 folds, Hero calls $5, 2 folds, Button calls $5, 2 folds.

    Flop: ($16.50) 3, 9, 8 (3 players)
    UTG bets $10, Hero calls $10, Button folds.

    Turn: ($36.50) 4 (2 players)
    UTG bets $17, Hero folds.

    Final Pot: $53.50

    in hindsight, it looks like the best line may be to raise the flop, and check behind on the turn. Hopefully get a cheap showdown.

    I'm a freak, but I think raising the turn is a better line.

    My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

    I agree. Whenever I'm done with a session I always go back and look at some hands and I can frequently find hands I think I played poorly. This being one of them.

    I think folding the flop is better then just calling.

    Thoughts?

    This hand occured maybe 1 orbit into the table and was his first preflop raise. I played a while longer and he is 27/3. I think he has JJ-AA there nearly every time after firing the second barrell.

    edit: 27/3 after 95 hands.

    How tight of an opener is he?
