Re: Pocket 10\'s play of hand. $5000 G Bodog multi
I think when he reraised preflop, you have to seriously think about him having a premium pair. I'd probably call that, but then play for set value on the flop, honestly. I'm having trouble reconstructing from your hand history, but it sounds like it's only a few hundred more for you to call into a pot of 2000, so you're not that far off from the appropriate pot odds especially with the implied odds.
I'm not putting any more chips into that pot unless I make a set, honestly. I cut my losses and move on otherwise.
As far your biggest mistake, I'd say that was calling the flop bet. He just put 2/3 of his stack in when his preflop play looked like it could be very dangerous. I think the worst hand he makes this play with is the nut flush draw, someting like AK/AQ/AJ [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. So even if you're leading right now, I'm pretty sure he's actually the favorite to win the hand.
You should have folded to his flop bet, or if you were really committed to playing the hand, moved all-in. What card were you hoping to see on the turn? If you were just chasing a set and going to fold to any other non-T card if he bet again, then why are you calling the flop bet?
