Default TT in the SB Button raises pre-flop

No reads on anyone.

I don't like to 3 bet TT in the blinds and that's not my question but you can comment on that if you like.

I had planned on check raising the flop if it came out all undercards but I was undecided here. What do you do?

Absolute Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (8 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, Hero calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls, CO calls.

Flop: (9 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
Hero checks, UTG+1 checks, CO checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets</font>, Hero ???

Ugh. Leading this flop should be automatic given the relative position of the preflop aggressor.

And yes, I 3-bet this PF.

I want to get as much money in the pot [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Flop:Raise.

Turn: Bets/Check raise depending on cards.

Flush chases are probably going to play [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I would have 3-bet on flop to elminate players.

Since there are 2 clubs here, I would raise; however, if it were a ragged board, I would smooth call then check raise the turn.

3-bet this PF. You make UTG and CO face 2 cold and they may fold, adding their dead money to the pot.

Flop - Gotta lead out. You slowplayed preflop so no one is going to expect the monster you have and will likely give you action. Going for the C/R is bad here. It won't protect against the flush draw (they need ~5:1 and you're giving the next to act ~6:1) and you'll blow away the hands that are drawing dead. You should lead, you'll probably get one caller (maybe both) before button raises. You then 3-bet. Build the pot.

I assume you mean raise, since hero didn't lead the flop. Also, hand protection is the last thing you need to be worrying about here.

This really sucks if the hand is multi-way like here. What's the point of blasting out all the other players by making them face two cold?

3-bet TT. Reraise the flop, if the BB caps then there's a good chance you're looking at a pp, maybe Axs. Lead out on the turn to a non-club.

I did mean raise, and yes I want to eliminate players because wired tens don't win as often unimproved.

Since there is a 2 flush, I want to play aggressively so I don't get outdrawn.

I don't quite understand where your coming from?

Nah, these T's are of the improved variety (there's another T on the flop).

Gotta lead out here on the flop and try to build a pot. If the button raises I'd be thinking about a stop-n-go on the turn.

I'd reraise preflop too, but I don't hate a call.
