Villain is DuyTheMaster and I think he is very good, I felt like I was just giving him money here because I knew I was beat to a set, but I felt like I kinda had to call. I knew he had TT and I knew if I checked the river he would bet $800, which is a great amount for me to call right?

Final Pot: $1320

I think preflop is questionable, I wanted to mix up my image a bit I have a tight image but sometimes I make raises with these hands from any position. Is post flop play standard. I think I folded the 2nd best hand out of the three players in the hand.
