TT - check my line ($6.50)

Opp's stats were like 25/6 at this point. How's my line here? Should I have bet a little less on the flop?

Looks OK, but I may have limped in here in this position, looking for set or low cards on the flop. C bet fine with the A on board, though I may have bet slightly less than you did ( 250 ish).. and fold is fine.

Isn't this a probe bet as the pre-flop raiser checked?

If so, then it should be a little less than half the pot, 200-230. Naturally, you're still folding to the check-raise on that board.

I fold PF here, your position relative to the raiser is good, but your position relative to the table is not so great. Also, TT is just a hard hand that play postflop when you don't have initiative.

I agree with nogenius.

Having the benefit of time I agree, however in the heat of battle may have called this pre-flop raise as well. With that said, this early in the tourney I also play pocket 10's for set value and would have most likely checked behind on the flop and would possibly put out a half pot size probe bet on the turn if no other scare card hits.

This is a pretty sick spot preflop. Vs a looser opponent, I would shove this but if he's an x/6 and he's raising from EP, I would fold.

Hmm honestly I would have played it very similar to you..maybe fireing around 250 or so in he flop and then folding to his re raise. Now that ive read everyones responses though I have to agree folding here against this player is the right move b/c tens would just be to hard to play.

question..if the flop comes all rags and he check raises you all in do you call?

I wouldn't call a C-R all-in if the flop came all unders from a 25/6. If the guy had like 60+% VPIP I probably would (because he probably has TPTK) but not against a player who has been playing with some semblance of tightness.

Otherwise, thanks for the replies everybody - I think folding was the right play against a player who had just put in his first preflop raise from UTG+1. Just so hard to let TT go though...
