Was my play ok? Fold the flop maybe against the rereraise?

Thanks in advance.

I'm in favor of raising to 1.6k preflop because you and the button are pretty deep and I wouldn't mind ending the hand now being oop. I don't understand the check/raise unless villain is laggy post flop, I prefer to lead out, it would be a sin to let a spade or big card hit the turn for free. This low you could be up against tp, 99-77, fd, sd enough to put it in here. His weak post flop bet in a vacume usually means villain has a draw, nothing, or something like 44-22. You check raise, then he reraises, at this point he either has a draw or trips, I ship it.

Re: 5.50$ stars TT, fold overpair?
 

I think we need to pay attention to his flop 3-bet.

We have more than 30 BB, and we're OOP. Yes it's an overpair, yes he can conceivably do this with a 6 or a flush draw or something... but at the end of the day it's a marginal holding in a dangerous spot up against the ONE guy we don't want to mess with unless we're monstrous.

Plus we're OOP. I hate it, and I probably couldn't do this on the felt, but I think we need to c/r-fold to a 3-bet, because the 3-bet commits stacks, and we don't want to play for stacks here.

Re: 5.50$ stars TT, fold overpair?
 

I also don't think our 4-bet has much fold equity.

Maybe you could check-raise more than pot instead of less than pot to see if he REALLY wants to commit, and let him know you're not just check-raising a flop bet.

But still fold to the 3-bet. You're betting is screaming overpair anyway.

Re: 5.50$ stars TT, fold overpair?
 

From his preflop play I would set him on a PP or SC.

His flop-bet is weak, so raising is fine. BTW I also think that you should have bet this flop. So the only hands I would be affraid of are 66,55 and maybe JJ. But I think most of the time this is a draw, so I think you have to push as you did.

I'm with TJ on this one, I think folding to the three-bet is a good line, and I would have preferred raising out and three betting him if he re-raised us, and folding if he pushed.

That's a really good point that I didn't even consider.

We probably have more fold equity with a c-bet/3-bet than with a check raise.

Re: 5.50$ stars TT, fold overpair?
 

Interesting. He's got a big stack, so presumably you should know something about how he got it. Also, limping from the button is rather odd. TJ makes a good point about the stack sizes here. That being said, at $5 i've seen this be KQs and A9 plenty of times. If I saw him being stupid to get that big stack, I'd definitely look him up here. If not, I wouldn't.
