Pocket Tens vs. Dan H. at Legends

[Scooterdoo]

Bruce, just read through the post and good hand. I would have made the same preflop raise. However, I think once he reraised you, you really only had two good choices: push or fold. I think Dan only calls you with AK, AA, KK, QQ (maybe JJ, but probably not). I also think, based on what I know about him, that he would definitely be capable of making a mini-raise as a 'move' and not necessarily with one of the top premium hands. In fact, I think if he was just some unknown player it would be much more likely that he had a top hand with the mini-raise. I know it worked out for you, but I really don't like calling that raise given that in most cases you only win if you hit the set. Yes, you won with a really big move on the flop, but I don't think that move would work for you most of the time. If you really read him as weak post flop, why not just push preflop?

Do you really think Dan will put his case chips in with AK?
He has six outs twice so with 4:1 odds isn't a call bad?.
If Dan does have AK do I want him to see all five cards? If
I push then he gets to see all five cards. I think he probably had a smaller pocket pair, because I would think if he had
AK he would have pushed BTF. If he did have a smaller pocket pair than obviously I should have pushed BTF. I don't know if he calls or not. By me not pushing I allow myself to be outplayed if an Ace or King come on the flop.
Perhaps I'm making this way too complicated.

If he had AK he'd be slightly better than a 3:1 dog. But he doesn't know that you don't have AA-QQ.

Nice hand bruce.

To the guy who said fold JJ utg in a tournament- thats very horrible. I don't know how you could go far in a tournament without playing jacks tens and nines UTG. Waaaaaaaaay too tight IMO.

FOLD!

Dan H is a tight player and you should always fold if he raises.
