Default Re: pocket tens against a Tag

very very very clear pf 3bet.

"tag" is clearly capable of 3betting for a free card.

nice turn play.

river i think is close either way. i think in the heat of the moment id bet it b/c lose pairs will call and i can easily easily fold if raised

checking gives lower pairs a chance to check and allows you to see a sd for 1bet. it also allows heart draw to bluff.

so personally its close.

in the moment id bet b/c i hate giving up value but i think a check is probably more technically correct.

you absolutely must 100% reraise preflop though.

Thanks.

In thinking about the hand I thought that betting the river was the right move, but I didn't want to be results oriented.

My opponent checked behind and he had 99.

So what does the donkbet achieve?

[/ QUOTE ]

If I'm ahead it protects my hand. If I'm not, I think the 7 is a good card for me to bet. I pick up outs with that card and my opponent is less likely to raise me since that completed a straight draw.

I think there is decent chance that I am ahead.

That is my reasoning anyway.

Forgive my denseness, but this is something I frequently wonder when I see these sorts of plays:

If you're reasonably sure you're ahead, then why didn't you cap the flop and lead the turn, to get the extra SB in?
