10NL: Can I keep villain around without giving him odds to call?

[bigjoker66]

I'm running about 18/13/2.5

Villain is about 23/18/3 over 30 hands

1) Should I have 3 bet preflop? (TT seems a bit weak to 3 bet with)

2) Is my flop raise standard?

3) After him calling my flop raise what kind of bet should I make on the turn?

Make your normal bet, the only way to make money is to bet. He has to have something in order to call. Don't let him draw cheap.

Your flop bet is awfully small. Once you've called his bet, there's 2.35 in the pot, and your additional 1.30 is not much more than a half-pot bet. With a flop this drawy, you want to be much closer to pot, even at risk of scaring away the villain.

I'd reraise to 3.00 here; nice round number and just a hair under pot. From there, I'd be aiming to get it all in on the turn, even if that's a slight overbet -- there are plenty of hands you're ahead of that will come along even to an overbet.

Thanks for the point about the flop raise being too small.

I guess he could have a fd or a sd and I gave him odds there.

As played do you think an over bet is still right or should I be betting $3-$4?
