Confused with tens...NL25
 

UTG - Solid
UTG+1 - Uber-donkey

This one confused me...given the action of the solid player I felt like I was behind on flop and he was looking to trap me on the turn so I checked it through...caught the perfect river and neither pay off. I can't make up my mind what I should have done differently (if anything?).

Thanks

Looks good to me.

You could bet less on the river if you really wanted to try to get some value... but your all in is already only 2/3rds the pot.

Re: Confused with tens...NL25
 

Seems perfectly standard, don't know how else you would play it.

Re: Confused with tens...NL25
 

I could care less about uber-donkey, but what the hell is UTG limping in with then calling a preflop raise?

Re: Confused with tens...NL25
 

Seems straightforward enough. I think the all-in on the river is fine, as the only thing that makes sense that they call with on the river is a flush, and that's insta-calling there anyways.

Yeah, and then a pot-ish size bet on the flop...I actually put a "?" in his notes because of this hand. His PFR% was a little low, so I guess something like AQ/KQ is possible...maybe he called the flop thinking I was full of it and my turn check, all-in on the flushcard river scared him off...it really had me wondering too.

Maybe just a smaller pair?
