Live 3/6 game with 8 of the most passive players I've
ever seen. Was sad as I got few good cards. Waiting
for the upside of my standard deviation on good cards to
play I guess.

Anyway, no one new at the table, and the only person other
than me who I'd seen raise was away on the phone.

Suits on this are irrelevant, no flush draws anywhere.
I'm in MP and get TT. Folded to first calling station on
my right who calls. I raise. All fold back to BB who
calls and calling station on my right calls.

Flop is 2-3-5. Checked to me, I bet, both call. I don't
want to see an A, 4, or 6, but decide I really am only
concerned about a 4 as it's more likely someone might be
hanging around with a weak ace hoping for a miracle.

Turn is another T. Checked to me, I bet both call.

River is an A. Checked to me. I don't believe either
of these folks are capable of a check-raise, and doubt
either would not bet the straight. I bet, both call.
I believe this was a correct bet on my part. Opinions?

Calling station on my right showed A5o for two pair, but
BB had a pair of fours.

At least the player who hit the wheel did not raise.

I would have played it the same.

That bet is absolutely standard. Well played.
