Preflop, I know I should have folded. Having a bad run and was a touch tilted from things that have nothing to do with Poker (so lesson one- don't play unhappy).

Paired board, but with an UTG raise I thought I couldn't put him on AT. Guess I was wrong? Your thoughts on this play?

[bisonbison]

Dids, I often make this preflop call.

I take it you wanted to check-raise the flop but decided against it when MP1 folded?

I think this is fine.

And while ATs is certainly one of the hands you should be putting him on, I'd play at least a dozen hand like this, many of which you're way ahead of.


Oh, and as for non-poker relatedness, just remember: if it's yellow, let it mellow; if it's brown, flush it down.

[Raiser]

Looks fine to me Dids.

You are really only worried about AA, AT, and a big AX [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (not as likely given your holding and the board). I wouldn't have given UTG credit for any of those hands until the 3-bet on the river, and even after that the pot is big enough that you can call and hope your flush is good.

[Joe Tall]

Preflop is fine.

You should lead this flop, trap UTG for 2-bets, if UTG+1 is going to raise as your are likely a heavy favorite.

I also think you should lead out on the river, and 3-bet if raised.

Peace,
Joe Tall

I think the pf call is fine. I would have led the flop and probably 3-bet as well. Even though the board is paired it is also unlikely that a TT8 flop hit the pf raiser (ignoring results of course) and you don't pick up this good of a draw often. I would definitely be playing this flop more aggressively.

[ZootMurph]

I'd have played it the same.

However, you did have 2 outs going into the River... 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
