2/4: TT overpair line check
 

Villain is 15/10/2.7 over 400 hands. The only history we have is a pot where his AA stacked my QQ on a low flop w/70 BB eff stacks, so nothing interesting.

i'd raise flop to like 55-60 and fold to a shove

That's pretty much turning TT into a bluff, right? Not that I think it's necessarily a bad plan, but I don't think I'm crazy about it here.

You don't beat anything on the river, so fold.

I think raising the flop is ok.

not saying you are wrong, but i am curious why villain can't have 99 here?

Re: 2/4: TT overpair line check
 

Not to answer for SAB, but he could have 99 here. However, beating so little of his range doesn't justify a call. Sorry if I'm misinterpreting.

Because he is not value betting 99 here so would be nearly a pure bluff. If he is good he can also have 22 or 65s or 54s and decided to turn these hands into a bluff on the turn because our line looks a lot like an overpaire. But he can also have a set or something stupid like jacks. He can also have QJs and decided to bluff. The question is how often will he bluff here ? The answer is not enough to justify a call. With history you can call but there that's a really clear fold imo.

i am not saying its a call. i was just wondering why he couldn't have 99 here, esp. seeing how he lead into a preflop raiser.

What jetset already said.

99 is no different from any other "bluff" hand, and he's very unlikely to bluff 3 streets like this.
