Weird TT hand

[JesseB_11]

My friend asked me to post this for him. Is this a push or call preflop? I doubt if he pushes anyone else folds, so is it better to see a flop or push because you are basically committed to the hand anyway. Thanks,

What's the buyin?

Can't see that this is anything other than a fold, ever.

Fold. Gotta think you're beat here by at least one hand the large majority of the time, and practically every other time you're up against at least 3 overcards, sometimes all 4. You're not getting good odds to try to hit a set since you have to risk about half your stack to do so.

You can't call, too many chips. I would fold this unless I was pretty short, then I would go all in and hope for a T and triple up or whatever.

this is chrismystero, that was my hand, Jesse posted it for me....just letting u know the results:

i guess i played that hand the wrong way in some sense, looking back, i guess it should be a fold, but not an easy one in any sense...i made the call, i flopped my set, won that hand and quadrupled+ up

but here comes the shocking part, their hands, one of them is fine, the other 2, im just confused how they do it:

MP2: 89clubs
SB: AKo
BB: AJo


thanks for the feedback though, appreciate it

$20 buy in is still weak, if you can afford them you should play them. This range of hands is totally standard and actually quite decent, you'll see Axo and even low unsuited crap sometimes. But note that calling here saps a lot of your chips and even though you are ahead preflop there are a lot of dangerous combinations of cards that go ahead of you. Quadrupling up is nice though.
