MP1 is a tight aggressive player similar to myself. When he 3-bets preflop I put him on AA-TT, AKs and AKo.
The J on the flop sucked, and left me hoping MP1 had AKs/AK or TT. When he continued to hammer on the flop, I got the sinking feeling. Thought about folding, but the pot gave me odds to draw to a set of queens.
I think if I had more confidence in my hand reading abilities, I would have found a place to fold in this hand. Probably on the turn. But the pot was huge and I thought I'd shoot myself if MP1 took the hand down with TT. The river was fugly, making TT the *only* hand I could beat that MP1 could hold, and with UTG+1 indicating he liked his hand on the turn I probably could have folded... but like I said, the pot was glorious.
I'm not sure how much content this hand has, but I'd like to know if anyone feels that a fold was in order despite the pot size.
