Sorry, forgot about it because I didn't have much to write.

I have no reads on any of them. I started getting scared of QJ on the turn, and even more scared on the river. But I felt that I had a good chance of being up against tens. But considering the board I was of course worried that I was drawing dead, so mostly I'm wondering is this was too agressive.

[Iq75]

In my opinion you were not too aggressive in the turn. There were 3 others players paying the raises and i think that you are good at least for 25 %.

I'm not too sure about the river. It was blank and i'm not too worried about the possibilyty of QJ, so in theory i presume that there is over 50 %:n chance that you will win, but in practice i would have probably played it just the way you did.

There are 8 different combinations of QJ that villain could have, and only 1 combination of TT. Added to that, villain's play on the flop makes sense if he holds QJ but not TT.

I'd also cap the turn, and check/call the river blank.

grunching...

Without reads on villain I play the same up to the river which I check and call. You are the low end of the straight, and you are only using one card.

[mlb3zr]

this one is read dependent for me, but I am likely to get weak tight and check call the river. very best case, he's an idiot overplaying a flush draw or two pair or something, but I'm expecting to split or lose to QJ.

Do you mean pocket TT? Although it isn't always raised pf at .5/1, he definitely wouldn't play the flop like this.

If he's holding QT or something, he will not play the turn like this unless he is a fool. I doubt he has T9 or some other two pair combination either. Especially because you are on the BB and are making it pretty damn clear that you have the straight.

[Fantam]

I somehow feel that one bet or raise too many may have been put in here.

You were definitely correct to bet out on the flop IMHO.

The T falling on the turn was not a good card for you at all, as it completed a higher straight for someone holding JQ.

MP2's turn raise may just have indicated his drawing 2 pair, so I think your 3-bet is fine. However his capping the turn is worrying and starts to suggest that he actually does have JQ (or the less likely J7).

When it gets to the river, I think I would check and call this.

[Macint0sh]

I think I'll check/call the river "the next time".

Villian had QsJs.
