What is he likely to be holding? 10-9? possible. I think I'm betting 300+ on the flop, really make him pay if he's drawing. I'm not willing to go broke this early with this call on the river. Interested to know what others think.

I would be very scared of the T ! He either has it or is acting like he does. If you get out now, you still have 1k chips, and live to fight another day.

I think you played ti prefect though. Nothing I would have done differently. Well, i might have raised a little bit more on the flop, to scare of the straight draw. But thats because I can guess the results, if it where my game I'd probably done the same as you.

I didn't bet 300+ here because i want him to call with a weak TP or something else, but i didn't think about str8 draw here... but the Turn and river scared me ^^

How did you figure your chances of winning where ? At the river I mean.

would co really call pf with this hand? any reads? could be something stupid like KTs, in any case i don't think you can call here but i'd have bet more on the flop.

I would call at this level - if I miss, I fire up the next one.
More often than not I have the best hand here, if I'm beat it's usually to two pair or a set. Not the straight.

your mistake was not betting enough on the flop/turn, bet around t300, then push the turn. As played I'd call, you beat alot of 2pr hands. If he has KT/JT unlucky.

I'd fold this as well. If I had to put him on a hand, it would be AT. Still, even if you think you've got him beat, I don't think that you can call this this early.
