    Default TT in the SB, was this overplayed? ($11)

    MP is 18/6 over 33 hands. Is this standard or did I overplay this?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hero (t1405)
    BB (t2430)
    UTG (t1015)
    MP (t1400)
    Button (t7250)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with T, T.
    1 fold, MP raises to t150, 1 fold, Hero calls t125, BB calls t100.

    Flop: (t450) 4, 3, 2 (3 players)
    Hero bets t250, BB folds, MP calls t250.

    Turn: (t950) 4 (2 players)
    Hero bets t1005 (All-In)

    You called preflop with 1010 good.

    You bet the flop good.

    You pushed the turn. Good.

    Given the situation the only hands I can put him on are JJ QQ, with the smooth call on the flop.

    Your either way ahead or already dead, its hard to get off 10s on this flop given he smooth called ur flop bet.

    I think this hand was played fine.

    I dunno, i think JJ+ raises that flop.
    Only hands i can think of that will raise 3X then check/call a flop are either a set, a pp lower than 10 10 that's scared of a bigger pair or AK that doesn't want to fold.

    I think it was played fine.

    Any reads?

    What was your plan on the flop if he had pushed over your bet? Do you instafold?

    You're not reraising preflop with TT. Do you reraise with JJ+ though? I am asking because I'm wondering if you would maybe cold call the raise preflop with AA (since you're in the SB) and then play it the same way on the flop. Do you bet OOP with AA too?

    Many times I will raise preflop and push over an OOP bet on the flop with any two. The person betting OOP folds 9/10 times. This makes me want to tell you that I would have liked to check and hopefully raise a bet from one of the other two people, but I am not sure this is correct.

    Would you have bet OOP if you were HU? No? I'm trying to figure out how much the fact that there are two others in the pot changes the way I want to play this hand.

    this is OK. I would usually CR flop. Often Ax calls on this board and you have no idea where you are.

    I think you can push pre flop too.

    Good question and my gut reaction would be to call. If I call, am I more often ahead or behind?

    I would re-raise with JJ and call any push. I would play AA the same too - at these loose games the BB will often come along for the ride and I don't want to play AA against 2 opps.

    I would lead with AA OOP as well, I don't like C-Ring here because of the flush draw (maybe I'm too worried about flush draws...)

    I don't know, is this a better line? This is why I like the weak lead OOP when I'm in the blinds and flop a set, against an aggressive player you can sometimes get them to push over when they've got very few outs.

    I might have tried to C-R against one opp but against two I think I want to figure out where I stand.

    PS. QUADS, weeeee!

    I will go against the 'well played' current of this post.

    I dont think your preflop call was good, TT is not a good enough hand to go 3 way with. When you called pot was 350, and BB needed 100 to call, that gives him decent odds to call with pretty much anything.
    5 handed villian's PFR can be anything in the range of 55+, A7+, KJ+.
    I think you need to reraise this preflop to about 450, and then push this flop.
    Pushing preflop is also a valid option.

    When you are 5 handed and your M<10 I think you have to think of TT as a high pair more then as a mid pair

    I agree with TLR here. I'm reraising preflop.
