raised river to prevent overcaller

[Guruman]

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (9 max, 8 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
first hand at this table. I picked it because (duh) the pot sizes are large.

Preflop: Hero is CO with J/images/graemlins/club.gif, T/images/graemlins/club.gif. Hero posts a blind of $1.
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero (poster) checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG calls, Hero calls.

probably shouldve raised here.

Flop: (7.50 SB) 6/images/graemlins/club.gif, 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
UTG checks, Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets</font>, UTG calls, Hero calls.

I called with overcards and two backdoor draws.

Turn: (5.25 BB) 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
UTG checks, Hero checks, Button checks.

my bd flush draw dies, but lo! a gutshot draight draw appears.

River: (5.25 BB) T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, Button folds, UTG calls.

river card was good and bad for me. I've now got top pair, but the oesd just came in for anyone chasing it as well. I don't want button calling behind with a better ten, so I raise as protection against his overcall.

Final Pot: 9.25 BB

Good concept, but how many hands does button have with a T in it? Overall not bad, plus you have bluff value with the 4 straight on the board. But I don't htink calling here is very bad.

i think buttons play could absoultely containt JT, QT, KT, and possibly AT. I agree that this also works as a bluff raise in this spot.

PREFLOP: yes..I like a raise here.

FLOP: You're getting 8:1 pot odds, but I'm not seeing 5 outs to call profitably. Your J and T together are 3 outs, and your BDflush 1.5 outs. Your BDstr8 worth 0.5 outs.....ok ok ok ok! So you've got FIVE OUTS!!!!

TURN: duh..

RIVER: I like the raise. I don't want overcallers here. If it's 3 bet, I'm leaning towards 'fold'.

This isn't a good spot for this play IMHO. Exactly what better hand are you hoping that the button will fold? You have him beat like 95% of the time here.

yup, I had no plans of calling a reraise here.
