I'm pretty sure I can't do anything but fold here, probably should've folded pre. thoughts how i played the hand?

Folding preflop is good. You played it good on every street as long as you fold river. Just an unlucky turn card.

Yeah I guess fold, though part of the reason the T is bad is because it kills your two pair, but only AK and AQ would be beating you because of this and its likely both would have been raised preflop. He could also have Tx though.

i actually called because of that, and i hate folding. i figured if he had a10 all the money would have been in on the flop, and there was a good chance it was a split pot. Also, i figured he'd fold Tx to a bet that size.

Don't expect guys playing $1 sng's to fold a pair to a bet any size.

I think a split is not that unlikely here. You now split wiht any Ax excluding AQ, AT and AK. Especially in a 1$ sng i think I call a bet on the river with a good chance of at least splitting or winning against someone who played KQ, QJ or something.

After looking at this again, you would be calling 390 to try for a split which would gain you 345(690 pot I think/2). I said fold earlier but now I'm really disliking a call even more. His bet is too big for calling to be considered, you don't split this nearly enough to play otherwise. I also don't see this as a board many people would try to bet to push you off of of a split (especially at that level).

But you are right, I thought his bet was something like 1/2 pot. Besides folding it pre, I'd fold the riv now too.
