i would bet the turn here. if he's checkraising, congratulations. you still can't hand out a diamond here.

I think that one was not worthy of raise pre or post flop with TT.
TT is not good enough for me to reraise a known tight player.

Too many ways to be beat in there, flush, 7 for a straight and any pocket, JJ-AA.

And after the turn, why check it if you are raising pre and post flop and representing that you have a killer hand, that is the mode you should stay in.

Just my barely awake opinion at the moment. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

SB capped pre-flop. He 3 bet again on the flop. Either a bigger pair than mine or big flush draw like AKs. Any ideas on what else he would play this way? When the diamond comes on the turn, I really don't like my hand much anymore. I check figuring I'll spend my one more BB on the river if needed. If that's my read, should I have folded the river?

If I had AA or KK or maybe QQ, then I'd bet the turn.

With the flush draw having come on the turn, and the cap pre-flop and 3-bet on the turn from the villain, I decided it was time to slow down.

I figured that was it, I'd continue to put presssure on other player though...

It has lots of later play implications possibilities in your favor (at least to me) if you press him strong.... he might think again next time when he clearly has you whipped...

With first raise from villain pre-flop, he could have a variety of hands. I want EP player to go away if I play. I don't want to fold. I must raise, right?

That was part of my thinking pre-flop and on the flop. But after getting hit over the head a few times, I decided I had made my point.

[trillig]

If I am going in with TT or any smaller pair, and these days JJ-22 are the same to me (almost) I want more players in actually for a big hit... and then autofold on flop if no Ten hits or obnoxiously good ten flop like QJ9 hits the board, since my TT cuts odds of others having one let alone with another high card, down severely.

Are you saying it's better to call the pre-flop raise, then

1. fold on the flop since I missed my set

or

2. raise the flop to protect my overpair?
