Until you can get your pre-flop leak patched up, I think it's pretty pointless discussing how to play the hand post flop.
Mainly because this is a situation you should NEVER see, calling a reraise preflop with TT93 out of position.

[img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] ok i get the gist, fold pre. the games i play in however are a fairly small pool of players, and its not unusual for me to sit at a table with 3-4 players i have over 1000 hands played against, in some cases up to 10k (no mined hands)

sorting my hands by catagory, every PP hand above 7's is a winner for me - if anything i know i have a leak with ace wraps which dont perform as well as their reputation suggests, so i am checking my performance with hands i choose to play

is it defensable to play this kind of hand every so often as a gamble (which is what i was doing) for metagame reasons?? i mean im usually running about 24/9/2.5 (15-20k hands per month), so i wouldnt say i have any major leaks preflop

you got to see the difference between a pp with good side cards and bad ones. i think the hand might be playable from a later position for a raise if you can steal often enough.

[/ QUOTE ] I guess some pros may think so too, but just keep in mind that any pair 8's to 2's often poses a straight threat...

You do know that 55 and TT hit more sets than any other pocket pair, right, but at the same time they fill more straights than other sets, so you should be less willing to play them.

This was my first thought, you mentioned you thought you could outplay these guys post flop. You also say you see them often. For that reason I like this play. It's good to let them think you maybe play worse than (or at least gamble much more) than you do.

depends how well you play post flop dosent it? and unless my PT is displaying information incorrectly, AAxx thru to 77xx are all clear winners for me over a significant sample size
