Default Re: 10 10, spew or standard

There are some factors that would make me uncomfortable when I got raised on the turn:

(1) Party 3/6 is a trappy game, and MP2's relative position to you is going to make him want to just call the flop all that much more.

(2) KJ is 16 combos, which is more than any individual two-pair hand (Q9 is 9 combos; T9 is 3 combos). Also, KJ is a fairly popular hand and also one that a Party 3/6 player would be more inclined to open-limp from MP2 than, say, AQ.

(3) I don't think most 3/6 players would be quick to semibluff-raise the turn versus a PFR with a hand like QJ on that board.

(4) MP2 might have raised a hand like A9 (9 combos) on the flop (though I'm not assuming that he would).

And, having said all that, I would have played the hand the exact same way you did. Sometimes, when you're playing aggressive poker, you just end up walking into your opponent's trap and letting him feel clever.
