Default Re: Feels ugly, hand from 10/20 HU session

You seem to be representing on the flop and the turn exactly the hand that you have -- a weak top pair that sure does wish his opponent would quit betting. It doesn't look like you have a plan at all.

I think that the turn is the decision point in this hand and that you played it as badly as possible. If my opponent is capable of laying down an overpair, I occasionally CR all-in on the turn. I occasionally lead the turn for $600 or so (hoping that opponent will fold big cards) and give up if called or raised. I sometimes check-fold if Villain is the type of player that can't lay down overpairs. Check calling seems like the worst option. OOP you are not likely to make a lot of money on the river if you make your straight or spike a T. I think that you were very fortunate if Villain showed you KK or something on the river because he will check that behind a lot of the time when the T falls.
