Default Re: one of the weirdest hands i\'ve played in a while

I call pf for set value.

As played, I c/f. TT is not a strong hand on this board 4way. The pot is too big to bet/fold here. You are slightly ahead/way behind and if you bet and get called/raised you are likely way behind.

Might be the best play IF you called prf 4 setvalue, here I raised to be able to win the pot prf or w/ a cb.

As played I auto-contibet : I want to know if I'm ahead or behind, since it's checked to me and no one showed ne strength so far, calling won't be any good. Can't really reduce my hand to hope to spike a T on the turn / river or make a runner runner str8, and folding here is out of the question.
$3 should do the job, board is rainbow and not overly coordinated ( me holding TT and therefore blocking quite some str8 possibilities ) and doesn't give the impression I'm too eager to take it down. The mere fact that I bet ( even if contibet ) into a 4way pot shows enough strength on it's own, I wouldn't need to add more weight by the size here.

Fold to a raise obviously, if called proceed turn w/ caution...

I dont agree that noone has shown strength so far, UTG raise is strong and the calls of a 3-bet to utg raiser also implies strength..

I really dont think this line works here at 10NL. Players are calling with a wide range at this level and your pretty much shutting down on the turn if your called and dont spike a T. Putting a large bet into a 4-way pot like this without bigger strength or draws just isnt gonna be +EV..your just getting called/raised too many times here and even if its by a worse hand you are shutting down..
