MP1: t1665
Hero: t1455
MP3: t1735
CO: t1430
Button: t1440
SB: t290
BB: t2775

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is MP2 with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
3 folds, Hero calls t40 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t60)</font>, 3 folds, SB calls t20 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t100)</font>, BB checks.

Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (t120, 3 players)

River: 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (t920, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">BB bets t40</font>, Hero?

No reads on the villain, but he's screaming "Donk!" with his play. Would you raise the river for value or just call? Comments on all streets are also welcome.

Looks like a blocking bet. I'd raise more on the turn and value raise river.

How did bb get his chip lead? I may be tempted to push turn. He cant (or at least shouldnt!) have a higher set so only real worry is QJ. He could also have KT and think hes the "dogs danglies" by milking his 2 pair. He may have AQ also and think hes ahead. Just to be safe i think id have t call river and hope to see his hand.

I would raise preflop.

I would raise closer to pot on the turn, that raise is pretty small.

I would value shove river.

With the raise, are you mainly looking to hit your set? And if the flop comes rainbow &lt; 10, against 2-3 players what action are you taking in EP? LP?

its pretty read dependent/situation dependent but TT is a very strong hand and is far far ahead of standard calling ranges in a 12 dollar sng for one raise. hitting a set is nice but you can play TT for a big pot simply for overpair value in a lot of HU pots in low limit sngs as well.

board texture matters a lot for your last question.
