BB (t800)
UTG (t1015)
UTG+1 (t760)
MP1 (t830)
MP2 (t782)
MP3 (t1590)

Preflop: Hero is CO with T/images/graemlins/heart.gif, T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
5 folds, Hero calls t15, 1 fold, SB completes, BB checks.

If you think your opponent has something and the push works one time in five, it is worth it.

What was the rationale behind not raising preflop from the CO with TT?

Glad it works in the 30s, can't wait to try it in the 10s. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

I used to raise here, but prefer just calling and playing for set value. Partially I think its because I'm playing 8 tables so it makes postflop mindless to play.

It's always a mystery how people call these HUGE overbets with VERY weak hands. I mean with pair of Ts, he might as well call this overbet with A hi. I mean, you either have a straight, boat, or trips.
