I would have raised preflop. Other than that, nice hand. Hope you didn't run into a straight flush. Nope, nice work.

Bet the flop. There are a ton of hands that will raise then you can make it 3. On the flop you are only a Jack, Queen or diamond away from falling behind.

Nice hand. I would have raised preflop, but I think checking is only slightly worse. TT is a fairly big winner at full ring games, though things might be different in shorthanded games.

Also, $1/2 hands are generally relegated to the micro-limits forum, and since it's shorthanded, maybe people the people in the heads up/shorthanded forum can tell you just exactly how much your opponents suck. I estimate your opponents' cumulative suckiness factor in this hand to be about 7.5 on a 10-point scale.

Betting the flop is much better than checkraising unless you KNOW UTG will bet for you.

Just think of the size of the pot if you had raised PF here, which you should have done.

Thank god for players like the button that keeps raising his str8 in spite of a paired and flush board out there.

Can't be a SF out; hero has the T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Nice pot. Here are some comments:
1. I'd probably check pre-flop as well, but some much stronger players than me (most notably Clarkmeister) have recently had posts saying how horrid checking is in this situation.
2. Bet the flop. This is a great board for people with draws. How great? You were second best on the flop. Anyway, you need to bet while the draws will still call.
3. I'm glad the CO got it jammed right in his @$$. I hate people slowplaying AA.
4. You should thank the Button for being passive on the flop. He probably helped keep the CO and MP in the hand.

Why no raise PF?

[ProfLupin]

I would have definately raised preflop here...and your opponent w/ AA might have reraised you and you'd have an even bigger pot!
