Pocket 10's play of hand. $5000 G Bodog multi

[Abel G. Talamantez]

With the blinds 75/150 and in the middle of tourney. I am third in chips at the table with $6355. Person in third seat raises to $300. (He has $5000 in chips). I re-raise to $560. Everyone folds. He re-raises to $770. I call. Pot $2215. Flop is 3 Q 6 (2 spades). He bets $1920. I call. Turn is Q spades. He moves all in. I fold. I know I misplayed this. Curious what you all think as to where I misplayed it. Any advice would be great. Thanks. -

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?

Knowing seat position would be helpful in this play. Your preflop reraise to isolate was ok. The redflags flew with his reraise. Don't think I would have called the flop bet, 10's can be problematic. GL

The only problem with this hand came on the flop. Right there, facing a pot sized bet, you need to decide whether you're beat or not. It's a tough choice but this is where the decision needs to be. Not on the turn.
If you call that huge bet on the flop it MUST be because you think you have the best hand right now. You do not have the odds nor the implied odds to improve.

So if you're sure you're winning, call him down all the way. That Q on the turn could not have helped him.

And if you're unsure, save yourself half your stack and fold to that flop bet.

what's with the weird raise amounts preflop, especially the ILLEGAL one by him? Reraise him bigger preflop, fold to a rereraise

with the given action, fold the flop, good fold on the turn.
