Live 2/5 NL--Pocket 10s as an overpair
It's my first hand at the table at the Ventian where they never make you post. I sit down with $200 and the villians have me covered.
I'm in middle position and see pocket tens. I raise to $20, the cutoff and the button call. After the rake, the pot is about $60. The flop: 2 5 6 (rainbow) I bet $60, cutoff folds, button raises me another $100. I have $120 behind. Shove or fold? I didn't like the situation, but considering how much was in there and the fact that it was my first hand at the table, I felt like I had to shove. |

I'd raise more preflop. As played, I'd shove the raise (which is basically putting you all-in anyway).

I hadn't seen a thing yet, so I wasn't aware how aggressively it was going to play. Still, in a live game, $20 'twas clearly an error on my part. |

Re: Live 2/5 NL--Pocket 10s as an overpair
It sucks to admit this, but I have been buying in short a lot at 2-5 lately because I've been running cold. I'll put more on the table once I feel like I have a handle on the feel of the game.

Ohh and Rika,
Thanks for putting the smiley face in your post after calling me retarded. That was thoughtful. |

Shove it in. TT is easily worth 40BB. It's really unlikely he has QQ+, so you're mostly worried about JJ and 34. If you get beat, you get beat.
