    I would shove over pre flop when it comes back, if UTG cold called with something better than TT twice good for him.

    As played his hand looks more like a PP/Tx/9x than a draw to me, I would just bet the turn. Plus I would think he's drawing to the flush at least as often as he already has it, although that's easy to say seeing he checked the river.

    I don't like shoving this early with Tens.
    Who else would shove over 2nd time?

    don't be the guy who gets terrified and checks every time a possible scare card hits.
    Quoting myself from the other thread because you told me to say it again. Checking the turn is awful, it's like you're trying to get drawn out on.

    I don't like checking the turn and then betting the river...I bet both streets...if I go down with trips (especially trips as high as tens) so be it...I can see if there were two K's on board or four cards to a flush...but I can't not bet on this...I'd be throwing my money in faster than you can say (something fast)

    I'd raise 4xBB pre flop, if i'm reraised then i'd probably push over as we don't have price to chase trips and anyovercards on the flop would leave us with a difficult decision.
    As played I'd bet 350 on the turn and go from there.

    It's too early isn't a reason.

    And do what if he calls, the river is a spade and he shoves? That's an important part of "and go from there" if you're giving him such huge odds to draw to his flush.

    I'd bet at least 500 and a push is pot-sized so I might just do that.

    Preflop and flop are fine by me. I agree, 500 on the turn and get the rest in on the river assuming a) no spade and b) opp doesn't shove.

    What if he shoves over on the turn?
    We then have 880(after betting) already in the pot.

    Easy call - how much you have in the pot is irrelevant (except to the extent that it contributes to your pot odds). If you bet 500 and get shoved over there will be 2170 in the pot and it will be 580 for you to call, so you're getting 3.7 to 1 on the call and you have 10 outs on the river (22.7% to win or 3.4 to 1 against).
