Default First time @ 10-20 live help me with this hand

I've never played higher than 5-10 NL, but I was in Vegas and wanted to give the 10-20NL at Bellagio a shot. When I sat down, there was one player with >30k, but everyone else was 1-5k. I sat down with 2k. About 30-40 minutes in, I've played a few hands. Won 3 hands with a pf raise, and folded the others by the turn. Haven't gotten to showdown yet. The pf raises have been 60-120.

I pick up TT UTG and make it $100 to go, and have a stack of ~1800-1900. Only the blinds call. Flop is T 6 3 with 2 diamonds. Checked to me, I bet ~$240 or so. Admittedly I was nervous, and even though I had top set, I would be happy to win the hand and move one, and hopefully calm the nerves. One of the blinds called. He had me slightly covered. $740 in the pot.

Turn is Qd. He checks. I bet $500. He thinks for a long time, and pushes.

Advice on all streets, but in particular the turn action (my bet and reaction to his c/r all in) greatly appreciated.

Hmm I dont know if I bet for sure, but if I do, I definitely call an all-in. You got outs even if you guess wrong!

I think your preflop raise was a bit excessive, unless 5Xbb is your standard. Someone could infer that you have a strong hand, but not one you wanted a lot of action on, which is exactly what you have. My utg standard raise in live play is 3.5Xbb, whether I have aces or tens. You flop bet is good. On the turn, I know it sucks if they have, say, a single dimond and you have to give a free card on the turn, but I think I check when the diamond hits, and I call most rivers unless the bet is more than around pot size.

op, this is rarely a bluff.

flytrap, 80-120 pre-flop is standard in that game.

Anderson,
would you have checked behind on the turn, or just folded to the push?
Thanks for the advice.
Do you play this game often?

I'd check behind on this turn unless I am happy to call the push. Once I bet, I'm definitely insta-calling the push.

with scared/shottaking money, it seems like check turn, call river UI is better. Induce a bluff/vbet with worse hand, lose least to flush. Probably not much difference in ev, and much lower variance.

like someone else said, i'd check behind on the turn. if you don't want to call the push, don't bet 500.

yes, whenever i go to vegas. best 10-20 in town, and usually the only 10-20 game running all night.
