    Default Trouble with top set

    Lead turn? What should I do as played? This is a $109

    - CO playing 42/16 through 30 hands
    - SB playing 25/9 through 90 hands

    Full Tilt Poker $19,500 Guarantee No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t20/t40 Blinds - 9 players

    MP2: t3385 M = 56.42
    CO: t1730 M = 28.83
    BTN: t3915 M = 65.25
    SB: t5200 M = 86.67
    BB: t2790 M = 46.50
    UTG: t1895 M = 31.58
    UTG+1: t3015 M = 50.25
    UTG+2: t2065 M = 34.42
    Hero (MP1): t2905 M = 48.42

    Pre Flop: (t60) Hero is MP1 with T T
    3 folds, Hero raises to t120, 1 fold, CO calls t120, 1 fold, SB calls t100, 1 fold

    Flop: (t400) 4 T 7 (3 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets t250, CO calls t250, SB calls t250

    Turn: (t1150) 9 (3 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks, CO bets t600, SB calls t600, Hero ???

    I'd bet more on flop.

    as played I would just call and see if you fill or maybe they'll check it down/bet small.

    Need to think more about turn, tough spot. I wish we had 44 or 77 so it would be easier to give one of them TP. here if we're still ahead that card looks even worse to them than it does to us.

    This board strongly hits both of their ranges. I would bet the flop more. I am snapping the turn with good implied odds (vs SB) and hoping to complete on the river. It is hard to lay this hand down but if the river is blank c/f > c/c imo.

    yeah I'd bet more on the flop and just call now, make sure you check it again if you fill up on the river

    Is the turn an easy check though? I was pretty torn

    i'd bet pretty much pot on the flop...i'm not usually a fan of that with nutlike hands but that's a fairly wet flop.

    as played c/c turn for sure and c/c or c/r the river.
    Playing big pots at small stakes.

    Is the turn decision difficult because, they may still be drawing? They are already valuetowning themselves though.

    I'd like to get value on the turn from 98, Ad7x and Tx. But since theres only 1 ten in the deck I thought it might be too likely that one of them turned the flush

    I'd much rather you c/c turn then bet/fold and those would really be your only options.
