When you provide the reslts here anyways.

Really hard to put villian on case 10. I try and get as much in the middle as possible. Villian has overpair/draw enough of the time to make it +EV.

I was having probs with the converter, so I typed this stuff in as best as I could from the hand history.

Yeah, it got messy. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

why on earth would you play passively here. check calling here is a disaster. if they have a draw they are calling for a ton of chips when they are wrong to do so and you cannot seriously be worried about a Ten with a better kicker here. if you play passively here you probably need to do some more thinking about your game.

another thing to think about is that by check calling you gain no information if that is what you are worried about (not me tho). plus you leave chips on the table if they have a good hand. if they have zero then you probbaly arent winning a lot anyway, but given the draws out there it is likely someone will come along for some chips.
