TT UTG .. What is the verdict.

[rhayder]

I read an article that said all the books teach us to fit or fold and we fold too much ..etc..

First I agree with the article because I feel I have read the beginner books and I think I was playing too tight and fold too early. I called this hand to the river because the pot seemed good and I had no read on what these people might play.

Now that I think about it.. I think that with that many people in the pot.. someone had to have an ace so.. I am beat and probably should not have called to the river.


Please let me hear your thoughts.. Thanks

Don't post results.
Fold the flop. You're ahead of nothing in the range of a BB who 3-bet preflop.

Fold flop. Two overcards to your TTs against 4 other players - very bad situation.

welcome

preflop is good. sucky flop....2 overcards makes your hand almost worthless.

then fold the flop. did you call because you thought you had (implied) odds to make a set?

well if you folded your 2 outer on the flop you wouldnt be in this river spot.....sure it is a big pot...but why is that? see, your flop call cost you more than 0.5BB and married you to your hand

FTR converter has a 2+2 option. that will get rid of the ugly colour text.

Well played preflop, but you got an awful flop.
The only thing you can do on that flop is mumble something about a bad flop and fold...

I'd ALWAYS fold tens on that flop against 4 opponents including a 3-better preflop...
