HAHAHAH. I think if a donk, call. If TAG or otherwise thinking player, fold. But with BB all in, I can't see him doing this without a monster.

I call here alot,i think our 10s are good here alot and we have like 50 to call and over 110 in the pot,roughly.But its very borderline and i can see a fold.

Why did you c-bet $25 into $65 in a 4 way pot, Nielsio? As for the TT hand, I think either a call or a fold here is ok, depending on your read. If the guy is nitty, fold, otherwise you can call this.

i fire much stronger on the flop, why so small?

Shortstacks. I bet a bit more though.

Note the SB coldcaller (who also had decent stats btw).

If I bet any larger, then I'm only ever going to get action from him by hands that beat me (99,QQ+).

If he would not be in the hand, then I would obviously push.

Sure, except that usually you won't get any action at all and will just take it down. When you c-bet so small, you're screaming that you're weak and you're scared of the big stack. Either decide that you think you're beat and don't bet at all, or bet enough that you're less likely to get bluffed off your hand. When you bet that small you're just asking for someone to bet you off it.

1st hand: never call that river
2nd hand: i understand your bet sizing argument
