Default Re: TT in annoying spot

What worse hands from loose aggressive opponents will just call a cb on this flop? I think he will fold or raise to your cb just about every time. Many times he'll probably raise with worse than TT. But if you check, he'll bet with worse than TT more times. So, I'm not sure what bet/fold accomplishes. But bet/call now builds a pretty big pot OOP, and then c/f at the turn seems pretty weak, while b/f the turn seems like spew, and committing for stacks seems bad too.

So why not c/c the flop with a plan to bet/fold the turn, especially a turn with a J-A on it (representing at least top-pair)?

Or maybe c/r the flop with a plan to fold to a push? Then, if he callse the c/r, either c/f or just push the turn depending on what it is and what you think he calls a c/r with.

As played, fold is probably ok if you don't want to commit to playing a big pot OOP because you don't think you have sufficient equity with your tens vs his raising range on this flop. If you raise, his worse hands fold and better hands call. If you call, then bet the pot on the turn, he can push and you're in an even tougher spot because the pot is now offering pretty good pot odds to call but you're probably behind. If you call, then c/f the turn, he just wins the amount you called with the same better/worse hand he'd raised with in the first place.
