If you are calling such a big pf raise then I think you either have to lead (and fold to a shove or big raise) or raise his flop bet and plan to get it in. 120 is way too much to pay to try and flop a set, and thats basically what you are doing if you aren't very aggressive on an undercard flop.

I think I bet/fold the flop here usually.

As played you aren't getting a cheap showdown here pretty clearly, so you either need to give up to another bet or crai (getting more value from the hands that you are beating).

there are so many goons at 27 level though, a donk here could incite a push from some AK/AQ garbage. So you have to go broke on a 7 high turn if you call this much preflop, unless you know the villian, then it can be a very easy fold. (but you'd probably just fold pf in that case)

I'd bet the flop t250 TBH.

Yeah, I'd probably bet this flop. I can maybe see a check raise, but that might be a bit too much. On the other hand, it might slow villain down enough that you can get to showdown a little cheaper.

I raise to 80 preflop and fold if reraised. As played, bet 200-250 on the flop and go from there.

Re: 27: TT overpair vs unknown level 1
 

A raise to 120 on level 1 can be anything from crap to a guy with QQ-AA wanting to get some value from a premium hand at such an early stage. It's annoying raising to 60 with aces, get one caller, and then no more action later on.

So I will fold this hand PF most of the time. If I call PF, then a 250 bet on the flop seems fine to me.

CO shoves you?

Read dependent. Usually a fold. I'm betting 250 so that I can lose the minimum.
