Re: Strange hand, totally lost w/TT.
I hated every bit of this hand. I think my turn check was the worst street. I was baffled by the button's flop check. Does everyone agree that I should cap this pre-flop? I would cap w/JJ, but TT...

Re: KK blind vs. blind
I agree that he would 3-bet the turn with KQo, QJs, QTs or A5s, but would he have capped pre-flop with any of these?

Re: pocket aces and I never bet (?)
I agree with you. I thought at the moment that I could gain back what I gave up preflop with my deception, could be made up on the more expensive streets. I also thought CO was fairly likely to cap...

pocket aces and I never bet (?)

Re: JTo in BB, easy flop call?
Just curious what others think. If he calls this flop, would this be a good time to semi-bluff check raise the turn if say an 8 or Q hit? UTG would have to worry about the 3rd 6.
