($60) 88 early, from the blinds

baaa, stars sucks, nobody does this on pp.

Anyway, I agree with everyone that hero should throw in the towel. Also, I think it is dangerous for me to think too much about this hand. Thinking more could lead to following conclusions:

1) laying down to the flop overbet (weak)
2) checking behind on the turn (giving another free card).

Both of these options seem -EV longterm. In this hand we ran into a tricky opponent (or simply someone who hit the turn), that happens...

and if he is (still) overplaying his flush draw, then wow... would anyone here play Axs this strong?

I fold. This could be a sophisticated bluff by a tricky player with a flush draw. But I doubt it because he has no idead what kind of player you are. Instead I put the villian on exactly what he's telling you...trip tens. Let him have it. I think it was a donk play on his part to give you a look at a free card if you were on a flush draw. But that just makes him more of a donk and why you should see through his mini-bet for what it is...trips. By the way if I was on a flush draw, I would call in an instant. The implied odds from this idiot would be worth it everytime. You're practically getting the odds to draw to it anyways. But since you have 88, I fold.

Seat 5: checks

Seat 5: raises 320 to 640

~ the end (and hero blinded off not-so-happily ever after)

the moral of the story? i guess making a move L1 for my neighbor's lousy 100chips with possibly the better hand isn't worth the risk...meh

Preflop: fine
Flop: fine
Turn: Pot control, I would rather keep the pot small here, maybe induce a bluff on the river, and let him draw to his 6 or maybe even 10 outer for free. I think I fold to a bet on an overcard river (except for a 9) and call an undercard.
