Value bet? T3o in the big blind flops top pair

[Buck_65]

These hands seem to kill me. Villains are both a little over aggressive and very loose.

Hero?

Is this a value bet? Anyone play it differently at any point?

In general, when the pot is this small on the flop, I don't go to war with my TPWK. If it's checked to me, I'll be happy to throw a bet in and see if I can take it down, but I'd fold here. Combination of the times I'm dominated and the times that the FD comes in for someone make it -EV. Raising is, of course, the 2nd-best choice.

Once I've made it to the river, I think I'm pretty happy check-calling. A few small PPs and A-highs will call here, but not often enough to be worth it, and there are obviously no worse tens out there to call you. I also seriously doubt you'd fold out a better ten.

Fold the flop. If you do have the best hand here, you probably won't have it for long, and these aggressive opponents will make you pay with any part of that board. About the only way I would have continued there is if it checks through to the CO who bets and the sb folds, then I would continue with a flop raise.

Given how you played it, I would just check the river through.

Fold the flop.
