Just sat down, no reads on villain or table. From my experience the villain has TT alot here. I know putting him on TT seems like I'm playing scared poker however time and time again when I see villains check on a flop they raised preflop they always seem to showdown a set or better. Anyone have a similar experience or am i really playing too tight/scared. I didn't fold but can I make a case for doing so?
