Am I too aggressive here?

[Percy101]

I didn't take the paired flop too seriously, with it being so low. I think 3-betting the flop is Ok but is the turn raise too aggressive?

Call down after the turn donkbet.

Against a check/raise with TT I'm probably already in call down mode. My thinking would be, who check/raises a FD or a 5 (or 66-99), knowing the bet is coming from our left most likely? Do we just dismiss this until we have better evidence (like the turn bet?) Or is 3-betting the better play b/c it (should) get SB to fold. Does the strategy change if he's a thinking player (a 3 seems more likely since his check/raise trapped everyone for 2)?

[Percy101]

I 3-bet the flop to try and fold any drawing players and increase my chances of winning. I am not convinced that I am behind to the check-raiser; read was LAG so can easily see him raising with any draw or pair. The turn bet just confused me though -I was planning on folding to a check raise or a scare card if it came.

I like calling the flop and raising a safe turn card if BB bets into you again.

It depends on how much knocking the SB out improves your winning chances. Seeing that you have almost no chance to improve, I like your turn raise. After the BB reraises it's very likely he has a 3, but I think you have to take this overpair to a showdown.

I see no value in this since, as you say, Hero's equity in this pot is thin. Nobody's going anywhere.

[Bodhi]

wishful thinking that the SB will fold?

[GrunchCan]

Its hard to tell b/c of the converter issues, but when I calculated it originally your rasie offered something like 1:10 to the next opponent. Maybe deeper. Pot's too big to protect.

[Bodhi]

Yeah, it's a pain to figure this out without the pot size listed.
