I know this won't go over well but this is the second post I've seen you make about a really standard hand. Perhaps you should move down a limit until these become eaiser to play.

Yeah, I'm not seeing much that you're beating on the turn. I believe this is a fold on the turn, it really feels like he has some kind of two pair or a set.

You can probably check the turn, and try to get a cheap showdown. Maybe check/call the turn, and block bet the river? Bet less on the turn maybe for pot control? Like 10-11$ ish?

I don't think moving down will make these hands easier to play. I think studying more and getting reads will.

Play at whatever level you want to, and keep posting hands that you have questions about.

no offense taken... he just decided to show me his K10 after hand, so i was second guessing myself... but i guess thats being too results oriented.

Yes, that's being results oriented.

Also, that's a BIG mistake on his part to show you that hand. Now you know he likes to float and make some pretty bad "semibluffs". I still think you shouldn't stack off with something like TPGK against him, but be sure to let him hang himself in a future hand.
