tricky tens (nl)

It's a wonder I make the money I do at these six max tables when I become donkified like this. Comments on all streets are greatly appreciated, this isn't my best work. I will however say I like my preflop raise, its my style with big hands at these tables, I build big pots. However, I can be convinced otherwise.PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) converterMP ($27.70)CO ($41.20)Button ($33.50)Hero ($95.90)BB ($33.85)UTG ($61.95)Preflop: Hero is SB with [Th], [Td]. UTG calls $1, MP calls $1, CO calls $1, 1 fold, UTG calls $7, MP calls $7, CO folds.Flop: ($26) [Ac], [2c], [8c] (3 players)Hero checks, UTG checks, MP checks.Turn: ($26) [Ad] (3 players)Hero bets $10, UTG folds, MP folds.Final Pot: $36

Preflop is ok. Good size raise with the PP to get out Ax and other junk. I think you have to bet this flop though, you are the aggressor. They either really had nothing or really suck to let you take it on the turn like that, lol.

preflop raise is atrocious, make it $6 to go, your hand isn't that good, but I'm betting the flop at $15 with the way you played it though

On second thought... 8 is a little bit big. 6 would have done the job.Personally... I probably just limp along there, but I just hate investing in J's and under preflop. Maybe I suck though, lol.

Yeah, usually I do follow through on the flop, even with an ace out there.But the ace combined with three clubs, I really hated being out of position. I suppose I just froze and told myself there was no way someone would let me take this big pot if they have club draw or an ace.The turn was basically, hmm, maybe my 10's are good. Will you guys give it to me for 10, ok, thanks.But yes, all around donkey play by me, just lucky on opponents play.

I find that betting on these kind of flops gets you the pot more often than not. Usually they are just as scared of those clubs and ace as you are, but you've got the first chance to bet at it. Then if someone calls you can re-think it.

preflop raise is atrocious,

My main reason for making raises like that at these tables, is do you see the junk they call me with. It all depends on my table, and usually during the day, I make standard raise to 4 b/c the tables play tighter, no reason to overinvest when I will only get called by better.But this table was playing loose, so I push hard at those tables knowing they will call me with worse. True, my tens aren't great, but they are against one caller who will call me with K 9 suited and such.

I agree completely. PLus with my agression preflop, they have more reason to be scared then me :-( Ty for the input.
