TT -- Tremendous or Terrible

[StellarWind]

You must have focused on the "little bit strangely" part when you raised this guy on the turn. Against a normal preflop capper you don't stand at all well after he leads the turn.

It's usually a mistake to seize control on the turn in this situation when you don't know whether to bet the river blank. You aren't really getting any more money in when TT is the best hand but you are leaving yourself open to an unwelcome 3-bet. Or the stop-n-go could be repeated on the river when Villain improves or is simply happy to catch a blank.

The counterargument to the preceding paragraph is that the turn action is being padded by a third player and that's a valid point. With QQ I'd make the risky turn raise and follow up consistently by betting the river. But the weakness of TT more than offsets the third player, especially since the fish could easily have a jack or a serious draw.
