My thoughts in white:
<font color="white"> Prelop: It is very likely that I am ahead now, but don't really want 3 way action. Raise to limit the field and maybe take it down now.
Flop: I don't like the 2 overcards, but I have an OESD. Villian has folded when he completely missed flops, so I put out a small probe/continuation bet.
Turn: Mixed blessing, I hit the straight, but the flush card also came. His reraise represents strength, but I think he makes this big move with any pair plus a big club/2pair or better. I have redraw outs to the straight flush even if he has me right now.

Results to come later.
What do you think? Also, what if I have the red tens instead of the T /images/graemlins/club.gif?

With a loose player like this you could be up against anything from AQo where he has the A /images/graemlins/club.gif, a baby flush, 2 pair or better, or another ten. The T /images/graemlins/club.gif only gives you a shot against something like 65 /images/graemlins/club.gif, which he could easily have tried to limp with in EP. I think he flips over small suited connectors more often than QJo, and you have to lay down your one-card straight.

[Pudge714]

I think you have to call too many hands you are beating or have a decent enough redraw to warrant a call.

I think he could play a huge range like this. He could have anything from a made nut flush to a semi-bluff with the A/images/graemlins/club.gif to 2 pair or worse.

Thanks for the input guys.

What happened next......
Villian flips over K /images/graemlins/club.gif4 /images/graemlins/club.gif for flush K high
River: 9 /images/graemlins/club.gif
Hero wins with Straight Flush Queen high, villian is goes nuts in chat box and busts when he pushes 83 the next hand.
Sometimes, variance can be your friend.

He's calling with K4s and he thinks he has a reason to go nuts?

I would not raise with TT preflop from the BB, you will be out of position on the flop and it's just too hard to play into a host of limpers who could have absolutely anything. Otherwise I think your play was ok though the flop bet was too small.
