MP3 checks, CO bets, Hero ... - what further action depending on what MP does ?

yuck, I hate it when the board does that.

I probably raise here. There is no reason to think CO has a ten, and there are lots of hands MP3 would call 2 cold with twice. if you just call and mp3 raises, I could see the CO 3 betting it. If you raise and mp3 3 bets, your screwed, but its still all the same. I dunno.

[Joe Tall]

MP sure did withstand a lot of turn action. Sometimes I'll see a weak call-station play QQ like this but not often.

I think I call as there is not much more to gain as there is to lose.

Peace,

IMO MP either has no tens, or has 2 of them. I think I call it down here, as getting raised would make me throw up.

[Luke]

I agree with the others here and would call.

You don't want to shut out MP if you have him beat or give him a chance to 3 bet if he somehow has a ten.

[Tosh]

Ok just to carry the action on. I called, MP3 raised, CO called. Call or fold?

I agree with Joe Tall. There isn't much to gain by raising here. Don't be surprised to see TT [not too likely given the fourth street action] or even 9T for the turned nuts. Hope to be shown a massively overplayed two pair or a smaller set.

a check-raise? hmm... I don't think CO has a ten based on previous actions, unless you think he's a lag capable of such aggression with JT or TT.

What was your read on MP3? I think it's possible he has a lesser set and was slowing playing it.

I would call the river.

Good question.

The only draw possible was a gutshot, so I didn't feel my hand was in any real immediate danger and wanted to give someone the chance to catch something on the turn that would make them stay through the rest of the hand although drawing dead - especially an overcard.
