TT looks like I might be drawing dead but the pot is enormous

[mackthefork]

SB here was slightly loose preflop and fairly passive postflop, button is a calling station. I also felt like a calling station in this hand, but i feel like I couldn't do much else here. Any comments and opinions appreciated.

What do you mean you're drawing dead? You have an overpair and an OESD. Sure, your T outs are dirty if you're behind 87 or something, but you're far from dead. I'd cap this flop for value.

River call is reasonable in this large pot. You did just counterfeit 98, so I could see you being good 1 in 20 here.

If you're raising the flop, I don't see why you're not capping it. Turn call is standard, and I'd also call on the river.

I cap preflop. With so many players in, the raise is for value.

I also cap the flop for the same reason.

The turn and river would play differently then.

The river card is excellent for you. If you were behind to 98 (two pair), then your hand is good.

I never do that, but now that you say it like that, it sounds sensible.

a limp/3-bet from UTG and capping preflop is for value?

[Bodhi]

There's 6 players and TT is a premium holding. Capping is for value. I would also cap KQs, AQs, and possibly others too.
