Default Re: A-10s- Top pair how is my line?

[ QUOTE ]
I was up against a weaker 10 (king kicker). Looking back over this hand I posted it because it felt really weak to be calling from the flop all the way to the river and I really wanted to find a spot to raise. I think the first response does make a lot of sense (though in this case it may have cost 1 or 2 BB). The only spot I could maybe see a raise is on the river due to the 10 still being top pair and maybe a busted flush draw played horribly. However without a read I don't think I would be comfortable doing so.

You played your hand fine on everystreet. First off, even realizing that you have the best hand on the flop, you still should not 3 bet it, when there are many turn cards that will ruin your hand. You should wait til the turn b4 you show any more aggression. When the villain bets the turn and everyone in between fold, I would only raise in this spot if I can safely fold to a reraise, without a read on your opponent, calling down is not bad at all.
