stupid TT hand

Playing in a good and loose, not too aggressive 3/6 game on Paradadise, 10-handed. No specific reads on the players involved though.

A player in MP opens, I'm next and 3-bet with TT. Big blind and MP call. Flop is 873 with 2 clubs, I have a club. Checked to me, I bet, BB calls, MP check-raises, I 3-bet, both call. Is this 3-bet bad? turn is blank of clubs. BB checks, MP gaybets, we both call. River is another blank (Sorry I don't rememeber the exact cards, but I was very sure there were no straight draws out). They both check to me. I check?

I'm going to say that the 3 bet was fine. I think a lot of players would check raise with big overcards or A8s. When you get donked on the turn I think you've got to worry a little about a set but he could also have just picked up a flush draw as you did. When the blank falls on the river I think you can bet this. I think that you will get calls by worse hands here and I think you're ahead a pretty big majority of the time.

I'd value bet the river and muck to a raise. I think you played the flop and turn fine.

I know it's probably a little early to post results, but I want to make sure I don't forget. I agree now that I should have value bet the river. As it turned out, though, BB had Acxc for the nuts, and got thoroughly owned by my check. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] (not that that makes it right...) MP mucked and I requested the hand history from Paradise but I haven't gotten it yet, so I don't know what he had.

LVM,

Great screen name. Kudos.

Wow, just got the HH from paradise. MP had T8s nodraw, top pair only. I thought he was ahead of me for sure...
