Villain is unknown. 9 handed. Effective stacks are $125.

I have T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in early middle position and raise to $4. Late middle villain calls and everyone else folds. Flop is T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. I bet 8 and get called. Turn is 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Hero? I decided to check and villain bets pot (about 26). Hero?

You have to call here. Even if he has a flush, you have 10 legit outs to stack him.

Personally I fire a turn bet, about 2/3 the pot. This is mostly because he could NOW have a flush draw with JJc or QQc or something like that. If he comes over the top of you, count the pot, calculate your odds, make a decision. Also, if he has a flush, he may get cute and just call, buying you a river card.

bkar.. If you fire a turn bet, what do you do to a raise?

Yeah, without a read I just play pot odds here. That's all you really can do. If you have the odds to call to a boat or quads (10 outs), make the call. Otherwise, I'd probably advise you to fold here. Most opponents with a strong hand without a flush will be just as scared of the flush as you. A raise will almost guarantee that you're up against a flush unless your opponent is really good/really LAG.

Call and maybe call a reasonable bet on the river. Then cash out of bodog as those homies are going bankrupto

You have to bet the turn. Make him pay if he doesnt have it, if he does he may raise or if not, you might fill up on river and he messed up. Many players are betting the turn if you check it to them regardless of the board or there cards...scare card just makes it better!
