Re: Seeing 5/10 ghosts
 

I think I'd 3bet the turn..

Re: Seeing 5/10 ghosts
 

bet the frickin' river for god sakes.

Re: Seeing 5/10 ghosts
 

I reraise at somepoint here. I think two pair is a pretty huge hand here.

Re: Seeing 5/10 ghosts
 

I think a turn reraise is in order, and I bet/call the river.

Re: Seeing 5/10 ghosts
 

I'm 3-betting the flop and leading the turn.

Re: Seeing 5/10 ghosts
 

I play it exactly the same. If he wants to keep reraising, then there is no need to scare him by 3betting him, just keep bet/calling and let him show QQ.

I dont mind the check-call because his range is around AK-AT,AA-JJ, and now on that river JJ and AJ just took the lead, so I think I check-call has just as much value as the bet/call, with half the variance.

Then again, this whole hand is so dependent on reads that you could play it different ways against different players who qualify as "loose but showing down hands."
