I've been bringing many hands in and c-betting them.
Not too much resistance.

I'm thinking lead fold to a raise... but I see him capable of re-popping the turn with air.

Like Caffione wrote, knowing when to fire the second barrel is more art then science. But online, if I were going to make it a science, OOP I like to fire again and fold to a raise. Especially vs. a tricky player who may occassionally float or likes to semi-bluff draws if checked to.

BTW, if you set the converter to 2+2 it won't have all that wierd code stuff I don't think.

Given hero's self evaluation, does anybody else limp this UTG?

depend on MP3, call down is one option. Check the flop is another one.

Motivation being that at least one over card is flopping more than 75% of the time and that we are OOP. The hand is probably going to play out in a difficult fashion for us because of these two factors. If we feel that somebody is due to take a stand against us, let's at least have position when they decide to do it. Or, if we are gonna be OOP, let's have a stronger hand than TT.

I'm not saying that limping is right. I'm asking if limping becomes an option considering hero's self evaluation.

TT can be a tough hand to play with - i understand your points and i think they are totally valid.

with TT, especially OOP, i like a pfr, leading c-bet and a fold to a raise.

might be a leak, who knows, but of the 75% that an overcard hits, it isn't hitting the villian 100% of the time.

thoughts or comments welcome.

I'm working on the standard line of leaving the table with a tricky villain with position on me /images/graemlins/tongue.gif. Really though, unless you have a fish or calling station on your left you can find a more profitable table/situation. But when I stay I mix in a 2nd barrel, probably only 20% of the time I think.
