Default Re: I dont know how to play mid pairs

because TT is most likely the best hand, it's for value, and there're lots of overcards for your ten.

and I would lead the flop if I had reraised preflop, obviously

Well, I actually want to learn here because I see winning players reraise TT and use this thought process and I don't get it. Raising "for value" only really matters when you can get to showdown. If villain will fold any worse hand, then betting for "value" does not exist and you're just bluffing. I don't think you can show down TT unimproved OOP very often and win a reraised pot, though you will once in a while.

Say you reraise preflop, cbet the flop and villain calls. The turn is the offsuit K. Now what?
