usually fold preflop

id generally raise this flop, river fold is standard, but your weak lead is just that, either c/f or c/c this little blocker is icky.

Tom, I like a check call lead here. If he raises you on hte turn go all in, you have tons of outs and are probably ahead anyway.

Fold preflop.

As played:

C/R the flop. This board is so draw heavy I really don't like the C/C.

Lead the turn. If he calls c/c the river or c/f to shove.

Why not just raise the flop for value?

This is an intresting line ... I like it....

Its just that flop normally Im quite happy to go for it with 2 pairs and if that 10 was any other card it would of been a much easier hand...

I mean thats a nightmare flop for any hand and theres alot of villains range that has me beat here....

KQ,99,1010,JJ, Even 10J also I dont think I have a great of FE because if not ahead the opponent has potentally alot of outs if hes got that Q etc...

My plan was to try and get to a cheap showndown... clearly didnt turn out like that....:p

But I do like that line EMc think Ill try it next time this spot crops up....
