[The Truth]

not bad, with those numbers, he likely has a lower set than yours. 10-10 is always possible.

Long time reader, first time poster.

Based on what information we have, I like your play here. It's far more likely he's being stubborn about a high PP, given his VP$ of 19%. Given his 3-bet and flop aggression, 99 through QQ and AA makes a lot of sense.

How were you playing up to this hand? If you were a playing a tad LAG, his range of hands increases to include flopping a lower set on that board.

I don't mind the defensive turn and river play. He may just have 1010. If he played a higher pocket pair you could have extracted an extra river bet; oh well.

I think to him it appeared I was stealing a lot of pots preflop. I was on a pretty decent rush and got some good hands in a short time peroid. I Figured he could have been getting frisky preflop with 99 and flopped a set thats why I slowed the turn. Figured I was good on the river but the 3-bet scared me and then my worst nightmare came true when he showed TT taking the pot.

[Ryan11]

I'd be interested to see what the button had with all the cold calling.

[Maulik]

to me, my gut feeling is this guy was a donk had showed you JT, hopefully suited.

I don't much like the river. Most TAGs will make this preflop 3-bet from the SB with JTs, QTs, KTs, ATs, TT, and maybe even ATo. So you are beat a reasonable proportion of the time here. I think you should just call the river bet.
