Interesting spot with TT on button
 

This is a hand that I played last week that I found very interesting. I don't have the HH saved on this CPU so I will recreate it the best that I can. I have only played a dozen or so hands with the villain so no reads.

Full Tilt .25/.50

Hero (BTN) $50
SB $55
BB $39

Pre Flop: T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
3 folds, Hero raises to $2, SB call, BB calls

Flop: ($6.00) 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
SB checks, BB check, Hero bets $3, SB calls, BB folds

Turn: ($12.00) 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
SB checks, Hero bets $10, SB raises to $20, Hero calls

River: ($52) 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
SB bets $30 and is all-in, Hero....

You should bet bigger on that flop vs two villains, I bet at least $4,50.

As played I fold the river, cause what do we beat what villain could have, A9? I don't think so.
Imo his range are Straights, Flushes, Two pairs?

You didn't really ask a question in your post, so I'm guessing that you're not sure whether you should call here or not.

This river completes every draw out there. I agree with Ivar in that his range is pretty much limited to two pair, flush, but most likely a straight. His little minraise on the turn indicated that he likes his hand all of a sudden. A lot of times I interpret a minraise as "I like my hand so I want to raise, but I don't want to lose anyone."

Bet more on flop, other than that played fine, without reads, now fold.

Fold turn, terrible implied odds and probably not even pot odds to chase one card straights. Its way to likely you are behind now.

Fold the turn. Your tens are probably no good. Your drawing to 8 outs (2 of which may beat you), so i dont think your pot odds are good enough. Even if you do make a straight, your never getting anymore money from the villain. As played, its an easy fold on the river.

I folded the river (pretty easy) and when I went back to look at the hand history I was trying to come up with a reason for calling the min raise turn and what my plan was going to be on the river against his range. The problem was I had no plan when I called and I think it was more of a "I have played the hand bad so far and I have an over pair so I have to call."

I agree with the fold the turn and I appreciate the help.
