Villian seems ok. A little loose pre-flop but fairly straight-forward post flop. My image is TAG. FWIW if I open I almost always bet the flop. I just can't see the massive overbet not being a flush. Is this the definition of an egotistical fallacy?

i limp this hand. i think the raise is fine its just a preference thing. if u raise continuation bet is fine, but im done with the hand if i get called. i dont know if he has a flush here but i do know u r smoked.

I think your tens are no good, but I doubt that villain has the flush. Wouldn't it make more sense for him to have something like AK (1/images/graemlins/diamond.gif) ? or possibly even someone who slowplayed cowboys (with K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif) or 88 who wants to take it down now?

I don't know why a flush would overbet on this board, especially with position.

the chance your hand is good is about 5%. good fold.
