    Default Leak or Bad Luck with TT (SnG - 3 handed ITM)

    I just got the Poker Tracker Software and I was looking for leaks. TT jumped out at me.
    Here is my position play for TT and losses are in ( )
    1 385
    2 2260
    3 120
    4 (440)
    SB 3540
    BB 1377.5
    BTN (3045)
    Below is the the BTN hand.
    Is this a leak or just some bad luck or bad playing on my part?

    I would have raised 3 x BB pre flop.

    Were you really intending to slow play pocket tens?

    I think post flop you might have gotten yourself in trouble by not raising preflop. It's not stealing if you raise your TT preflop - it's playing it ABC and just trying to eliminate weak hands from seeing a cheap flop.

    What buyin is this? Heading says it's a $200 tourney, is that right?

    I agree with the other posters, no way I am limping TT here. Raise it up. As played, you played it far too passive postflop. There is 600 in the pot and you flopped an overpair which is about as good as you can expect for TT (save for flopping a set) and you only bet 200? I bet the pot here even with the monotone board because you have the T. That will be a seriously scary board for your opps too, I think you might have taken it down on the flop with a bigger bet.

    I needed to bet Willey out of the Flop. He was holding 2d 3d. No way he was getting out after that Flop.

    Buy in was $2.40 The header ($200) is just the BB.

    Then, as FlyingSaucy said, and sorry to be harsh, you did it to yourself by not raising preflop - you gave Willey the free cards that beat you. If you raise preflop and he decides to call your preflop raise with one of the worst hands in poker and flops a straight flush, well, nothing you can really do.

    I know. Already figured that out when Hop Gazza asked if I was slow playing. Lost due to a lack of aggressivness.

    This is terrible. Can you not see that TT is a monster 3-handed - you raise and if they fold, fine, if they call, you're probably miles ahead? I can't believe you haven't spotted this for yourself.

    10-handed, fine, limp TT if you're feeling tight/weak, but 3-handed there are only 4 better hands. Bet that motherfucker!
