Phil Ivey woulda re-raised the flop.

Depends on player, but I would prolly reraise flop and lead out on turn. If you get reraised all in, you should prolly fold.Other than that, make sure you dont go all out. Just bet out moderately on each street.

I don't know, I'm suspicious of his min raise pre-flop and then small raise on the flop. To me it seemed as though he wanted to keep you in; and then on the river tried to get paid. I feels as though he had you beat. Pockets Kings?

So you like how I played it then ? He had KT for trip tens. He raised me on the flop with middle pair of tens. He was running very very good and I guess he felt like he was going to win the hand or something.

You bet 1/2 the pot on the flop so I think his flop raise was a good play as it allowed him to see a free card (you checked the turn) and potentially enabled him to see a cheap showdown with middle pair and potentially disguised his hand to you (he thought that you thought that his re-raise meant he had a J) so when the 2nd 10 hit, you are more likely to call down with your J.Whereas if he calls your flop bet and then raises your turn bet (assuming you lead the turn), you may fold thinking he has the 10.Not a bad play on your part just a good play by your opponent

Haven't read replies..."Stream of consciousness" post as I'm reading the hand history...AJ in the blinds = trap hand out of position.Top pair on the flop on a coordinated board AND no redraws... uh oh.Min raise on the flop... all kinds of warning bells are going off.I should say you should fold for the flop raise, but I wouldn't in real life. In real life it's not hard to check/fold this turn.

Having read replies...

Phil Ivey woulda re-raised the flop.

Only because he can see through people's souls, cards, AND he knows what the next two cards are going to be.

Depends on player, but I would prolly reraise flop and lead out on turn. If you get reraised all in, you should prolly fold.

In real life this is suicide, over a flop min raise with "TPTK" here. "TPTK" on this board is NOT a good thing.

So you like how I played it then ?

Not particularly.About 3/4ths of the rest of the deck is bad for you, with TWO chances to hit them. That he only had 5 outs in real life doesn't matter... AND you check/called to pay off his value bets. Your stack is for making bets, not calling bets.

He had KT for trip tens.

DON'T POST RESULTS!You might actually think you played this good, and that wascawwy villain hit a 5-outer on you. His raise is not brilliant. His raise is stupid and he got lucky. You still paid it off, because he priced you in juuuuuuust right. He sold you this winner.So be smarter than him. Learn from this.
