Vs standard NL10 villain? T6o

Its a simple call because of the odds your being laid but in future id probably 4 bet this preflop and fold to a push. If youre not willing to stack off with QQ on this flop then fold the flop.

Given the odds this is a hard decision. Sklansky says that if you have a hard decision it is likely that you misplayed somewhere previously in the hand to get into that situation. In your case if you feel uncomfortable calling this push you should probably have played the hand slower. I can see just calling his c-bet and see what he does on the turn. You can still fold to a push then.

In all honesty I would go all the way with QQ on a dry undercard flop.

He's actully losing to T6o.

I agree 4-bet it pre-flop.

Hmm, it's a toughie. The more I think about it, against a good player it's probably a fold.

But then why didn't he shove it in on the flop if he has you beat.

You're getting 3:1 on a call so maybe it's not best to over-think it. You only need to win this one time in 4 to make a call mandatory. Hands you can beat:
a) A9
b) 2 high hearts
c) AK
d) Air
e) Quite a lot of small/medium pairs that put you on a draw / bluff raise on the flop
