Re: $500 NL, Busted with 10 10. How did I play this?
I mis-typed about your only having $15 invested in the pot, but I still don't agree with your push. I've made the same play with similar results more times than I like to admit.
The reason that I don't like it is because the only hand that the villian can put you on that he's not in front of is really 8-7, 8-9, or A-8 (maybe 8-10, but probably not given your tight table image). The only hand that he might have that you beat that makes the overcall is 9-9 or maybe 5-6, or 9-10. Overcalling given your action with 9-9 would be a big mistake on his part as would calling with an OESD on a paired board.
I would have called the additional $30 and hoped to either spike my 10 or get to a free or very cheap river. Which likely would have worked if the villian was as weak as your read. Like I said, I think the best thing was to re-raise pre-flop.
Its always easier to see this kind of stuff when you're not in the heat of the hand, but that's how I hope I would have played it.
