Hmm...I like it, although the raise on the flop is quite bold.

You could just call the flop. If I knew it would turn out the way it did with a flop raise I'd do it, but it's not going to often. I just call the flop.

Sounds like you wanted to keep people in? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Sheeeeeit... just calling in that spot guarantees that the two behind me coldcall, and possibly raise their Kx trash. I was trying to get it headsup with the flop better, and was folding to a re-raise.

Good idea. You can search out these guys on a day you don't feel like being outdrawn on.

Yeah, I would probably have folded that hand to the flop bet, considering there are 2 overs. Bad play?

Quite the contrary -- I was trying to win the pot right then and there, with the flop raise. With two overs on the flop, and a flush and a straight draw out there -- my 10s, if they had any equity left after the flop, were very vulnerable on the turn and river. I raised hoping to knock out the two behind me, and if the bettor called, I was either calling or raising, depending on what fell on the turn.

I figured I had a decent shot headsup, and next to hopeless shot 4-way.

This is pretty bad. If you do raise you should call a reraise as you're getting correct odds. The reason I say just call on the flop is because the odds are good enough, and they're even better once the pad is potted if he 3 bets. I would fold in a smaller pot but you have a couple of marginal backdoor draws and your set draw which makes peeling one ok.

You don't ever consider representing AKo in that scenario? I managed to scare off any Jx, and any Kx -- except for AK (obviously). My tens probably weren't the best hand after the flop (unless those coldcallers are complete Leroy Jenkins's) so I though the pot was just big enough to risk and extra SB if I had any chance at all.
