I agree with him 3betting pf if he held QQ/JJ, and this smells like a draw. If villian's pretty good, I can definitely see him playing draws like this.

Quite marginal imo, but I think I would call.

Insta call. Even money or you have him crushed.

On a board like this at 10NL against a reasonably aggro opponent, I don't think villain's line is overplaying TPTK at all. Call.

Call. It looks like a draw bet.

Hero did not start 350 bb deep as well.

I am never folding this for 100bb.

You are getting better than 1.5:1.

I'm snapping this and expect to see a tp, combo, draw, set, etc.

Why would you call that large of a raise without knowing where you are in the hand?

Sure, you might be ahead 50-60% of the time, but even 9c10c has you beat. This could be any set, any flush draw, or it could just be AQ. Either way, if you are going to become a winning NLHE player, you have to learn to put in your money when you have a good read on your opponent.

Yeah, 30 bucks isn't a huge deal, but relative to the wagering, it is. He might be giving you free money, but why risk it when you just don't know.

I guess my point is if you're right half the time and wrong half the time in these hands, it becomes a wash, except that sometimes when you're right you still lose. When you're wrong, you almost always lose.

If you're right half the time and wrong half the time getting 3:2 on your money, you should snap call. Furthermore, there's no way villain has you beat here half the time (meaning he has JQ, 22, or maybe JJ/QQ for every time he has whatever else).

Poker is a game of incomplete information. You run with what you have and make the most +EV decision at the moment, not wait until you're absolutely sure and then get the money in.
