Party .5/1: TT in the BB
 

MP1 is a little loose and aggressive preflop and about neutral postflop. CO is loose and passive both pre and postflop.

pretty standard for me, i'd normally 3-bet this but calling is probably a better play in the blinds

Re: Party .5/1: TT in the BB
 

I'd 3-bet pre-flop, especially w/ your read.

Rest seems okay to me.

Yeah only calling preflop seemed pretty weak to me. Especially considering I was willing to 3 bet him on a ragged board.

The general idea in this hand is this...if you are willing to 3-bet a 9-high flop (the worst possible overpair), you should be 3-bet preflop IMO. When you 3-bet the flop, you obviously aren't afraid that he as AA-JJ, so why not 3-bet preflop.

Yeah I completely agree. I should have 3 bet preflop and generally do in these situations.
