Default Re: TT on 444 board

Preflop is meh. Why check the flop after 3betting pre?

The whole point of 3betting preflop with a marginal hand OOP is to take the pot down preflop or to build a nice sized pot to take down on the flop with another bullet. Thats about the best flop you can hope for that doesn't have a T in it.

turn lead is OK - but 3bet him all in while you are likely still ahead or seeing as that 8 has hardly helped him fold if you think there's a good shout he has JJ+ here (if your read of his 3bet calling range is AK/JJ+)- if you don't go broke here to JJ+ you are losing tons of value I think and it makes the river decision tough when an overcard hits as we have so much invested and are pretty potstuck.

River is a fold cos AK/Q which tried bluff raising you on the turn just zoomed past - tho those odds are sweet so villain depending I'd consider a crying call. We beat very little aside from a bluff tho and in a vacuum with no reads/recent table history villains line here is very strong.

thats hardly a "small" river bet as it puts hero all-in.
