First post - Need another pair of eyes
It was early in a $5.00 + .50 multi-table tourney on Pokerstars when the following hand came up. I'm in seat #2. This hand has been bothering me all day and I think I may the right play. If anyone would like to comment, I would appreciate it.
PokerStars Game #2313835158: Tournament #11170547, Hold'em No Limit - Level III (25/50) - 2005/08/11 - 11:30:22 (ET) Table '11170547 1' Seat #4 is the button Seat 2: BigCountry68 (1815 in chips) Seat 3: CSTACKS (1695 in chips) Seat 4: TheRookie2 (1035 in chips) Seat 6: hogjaws10 (1935 in chips) Seat 7: beef1955 (910 in chips) Seat 8: Skeans (610 in chips) Seat 9: MIRRORS4U (2835 in chips) hogjaws10: posts small blind 25 beef1955: posts big blind 50 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to BigCountry68 [Qh Ah] Skeans: folds MIRRORS4U: folds BigCountry68: raises 115 to 165 CSTACKS: calls 165 TheRookie2: folds hogjaws10: folds beef1955: folds *** FLOP *** [Td Th Qd] BigCountry68: bets 250 CSTACKS: calls 250 *** TURN *** [Td Th Qd] [Kh] BigCountry68: bets 400 CSTACKS: raises 600 to 1000 BigCountry68: calls 600 *** RIVER *** [Td Th Qd Kh] [2d] BigCountry68: checks CSTACKS: checks *** SHOW DOWN *** BigCountry68: shows [Qh Ah] (two pair, Queens and Tens) CSTACKS: shows [Ac Tc] (three of a kind, Tens) CSTACKS collected 2905 from pot *** SUMMARY *** Total pot 2905 | Rake 0 Board [Td Th Qd Kh 2d] Seat 2: BigCountry68 showed [Qh Ah] and lost with two pair, Queens and Tens Seat 3: CSTACKS showed [Ac Tc] and won (2905) with three of a kind, Tens I was pretty confident that he had the 10's before the turn and his raise on my bet pretty much proved it. Should I have called him and tried to catch one of my many outs or just given it up? Thanks!

Re: First post - Need another pair of eyes
Check-fold the turn. Since you bet out and got raised, definitely fold to the raise. You're not beating anything really. You got to ask yourself what he's calling with on the flop and then raising you on the turn with…After the smoothcall he made on the flop I’d put him on a 10, KJ or KQ and all those hand are beating you on the turn.

Re: First post - Need another pair of eyes
To set up a bluff on the turn or river? I don't think that works often enough in $5 MMT's to make it profitable as you're likely to get called down by something like hero had.

Re: First post - Need another pair of eyes
Wow, that was quick. More and more I'm thinking I should've checked on the turn and folded if a bet came down like you suggested. I've just started playing (about the last 3 months) and I'm glad I stumbled on this website. I appreciate the input.

Re: First post - Need another pair of eyes
Yeah that's what I said in my first response. Check-folding the turn is most likely the correct play. But what I mean with that it might be a mistake to bluff at this is due to the fact that most $5 MTT's players don't always make the correct play. Which of course is good in most situations, but not in a situation like this in which you might get called down by hand that should fold. It's all very player dependent though. If you think you can move hero of hand like A-Q then go for it.
