Interesting hand 10nl How do you play it?

[derosnec]

why are you raising T8s utg, even though 5 handed? serious question, not rhetorical.

It is a semi marginal spot but like I said I was getting away with alot nad had a tight image. I like playing hands like this to exploit my image. If everyone folds I take it down if I get called atleast I am not likely to be dominated.

Flat fold pre, these guys probably don't give a [censored] about image and aren't positionally aware.

I probs shove over his flop raise.

[wingchunflush]

Well I play T8 and such if I know that my raise will be pretty much the only action preflop. This was that kind of table. I wasnt worried about getting raised preflop and if I did I can get away from the hand very easily.

I'd probably stick it in the flop. This is were we have the most equity.

[CrAcK_N_CoKe]

Between raising the turn and raising the flop i prefer raising the flop.
In fact i HATE your semi-bluff here.I think you are lucky that he folded.

*Guys thats a hell of a overbet to shove the flop.

[wingchunflush]

Usually I would to. I think there is no way my hand looks like a FD and he isnt raising me with a FD so why not stick it in. When I do I get snap called and miss a good portion of the time. I decided to take a different tactic this hand. Wait for the turn. Luckily the K is kind of a scare card that I can bluff at.

no one cares at 10nl what your hand looks like. make a hand and vbet it to death, save this for msnl

[Hebel]

I play this not like a spewtard

say this to yourself over and over: nl10 is NOT about fold equity, it is about value betting

plays like this lost me many buyins before i learned better

and dont raise 10 8 oop

Even at a tight table, I don't like T8s UTG because if it gets to the flop, you will often be OOP and run into these kind of marginal situations.

It's pretty obvious that villain has a J or some kind of PP lower than KK, so your turn play looks okay given your outs + FE.

IMO, this is still a very marginal spot (PF), and I know you're currently dealing with a bad downswing so I would generally suggest staying away from these marginal EV situations, especially if you're uncertain how to play it. It's okay to do every once in awhile I guess, but then I think you're putting money in OOP too often if this becomes a standard play under these conditions.

Good hand to post though - post more hands, it'll help your game out.
