one wacky hand w/ TT (10nl)

[keikiwai]

BB is 47/27/1.5 after 15... but given the brief play of his i've seen which was bad, i'm thinking i'm ahead of his range and want to get it all in vs. his 42BB stack

SB is 62/2/0.94 after 45... i'm assuming he's got a weak hand from how he played it... yes he COULD have a monster because he rarely pfrs, but on average w/ his high vpip and his play, his hand is weak

give me a pf line.... i thought pushing would make SB's decision way too easy (since BBs finally push (for $0.50) was not a full bet, you can only call or fold, you can't push over him)

flop check is debatable vs. a passive, but i think my hand is strong enough to give free cards, and hopefully villain makes a pair or ends up thinking his middling pocket is good

i'd bet the turn if checked to

i like a bet on the flop so if he has AQ here he can checkraise you. Checking behind may induce a bluff though, so i guess its debatable.

i have $8.25 left in a $12.60 pot... if he's got a Q, the money's going all in by the river, if he's got an overpair the money's going all in by the river... i want to increase the likelihood that the money gets in vs. the other holdings he may have

if he has AQ he cannot c-r me. if i bet, i go all in

woops just posted my thoughts in tha micro brew so i guess ill restate it.

i think u played the hand optimally (minus not raising exactly wut BB had /images/graemlins/wink.gif)

BBs range is HUGE and u obv crush it with TT. and SBs range is also monsterously big so he is folding to ur 4 bet a ton so that adds even more EV to the hand. it didnt work out exactly how u wanted but i think the thought process is spot on.

as far a betting the flop i dont see why. the pot is already jinormous compared to the stacks and u have the near nuts and villian is drawing to 3 or less outs. i dont see a point in betting the flop. let him donk off on the turn. if he checked the turn i would shove tho.

yeah, i should have done that, i agree

i agree w/ no need to bet flop, and push turn if checked to

small point is that, if villain is drawing live, he has 4 outs (overpairs have 4 outs, Qs have 4 too)

of course i'm hoping he's drawing dead to 6 or 2 outs, or will commit unimproved on the turn due to my checking the flop, whether it's by calling or pushing

You flopped the effectives nuts and there are VERY few cards that can crack your fullhouse. There is really no wrong way to play this hand, but I think a check is a pretty solid play here. Holla.
