Check behind. With the PF limp he probably doesn't have a big A. He probably isn't c/r'ing the flop and calling a 3bet and a turn bet with a weak A. There are no draws to speak of. Thus, his most likely holding is a stronger ten that he's letting you bet for him. EDIT: I probably would have made the flop reraise larger, more like 11 or so.

I like this advice. If I was holding a Ace a smallish flop raise would make less sense.

check behind. he is not calling with a bare ace. the only thing u are beating and get value from is T2.

i 3barrel here, i don't think the villain holds a ten and might call with a weak ace.

15 to go.

He is not check/raising this river with a boat, because you've shown enough interest to call a decent bet and he won't take the risk of you checking behind.

He must have an A or a T to still be here. After the flop I feel he has T8s, T9s, JT, QT, KT most often. You are probably beat, but can't fold this. I like a small bet on the turn and definately check behind on river.

If he had an A you just lost yourself his stack, but you'll get it soon enough if he plays it like this /images/graemlins/smile.gif

you guys think a tag really plays trips this passively? I wouldn't be suprised to see ace rag here alot. I would put in a river value bet for about 1/2 pot.

Yes. Read my first post in this thread; from either guy's spot, I would expect to see a T from my opponent given all of the action. If he has KT, then sure, I'd expect him to push a little harder, but if it's something like T9 then playing it WA/WB against an opponent who has shown serious interest in the hand is probably the best line.

You must have the best table selection because my opponents are not this dumb 80% of the time. Congrats on your skill at finding the best tables.

I think villain could very possibly have AcXc and picked up a flush draw on the turn. I'd bet about 1/2 pot and except to be called by an ace. By the way 23/13 is not TAG stats.

I hate the flop 3bet, unless we have a lot prior agerssion in our history I like to take a passive line in such situations.

You have position, IMO should not play a big pot in this spot. Call his flop c/r. If he checks the turn you can bet it or check behind. If he checks river, bet it:/

Thanks for the reply. I think you where at the table with me and watched the hand. I really didnt put him on a T. I tried to make it look like I was trying to represent a T, but didn÷t have it.

Anyways in the last days I have run into spots like this where villain was holding trips with bigger kicker.

BTW, I like your game, what are you still doing at 50NL /images/graemlins/grin.gif

IMO a flop call seems as much suspicious as a small raise. Villain could be thinking that by raising small Im trying to represent an T and finding out where I stand.

The 3 kicker doesn't play. We aren't beating any Tx hands and are behind T4, T6+

Here's why I like the turn bet. By betting half pot ourselves in that spot, I think we'll frequently get to set a cheaper price against better Ts than if we check the turn and lead him to bet the river. Checking behind the turn would be a good way to induce a bluff, but given the flop action I think a bluff is very unlikely.

yes, I made a small turn bet to suck in any Ace. However, for some reason I really didn`t believe villain had a T. He showed T7 Btw.
