I'm not crazy about the raise pre-flop with so many people already having limped in, but I suppose you could make the case of building a large pot in case you hit a set. After that, I think you played the hand alright. Smooth calls on the turn and river seem fine to me.Now let's here what the actual experts have to say because I'm finding that the advice I give on limit hands tend to be wrong about half the time. Go me.

The raise preflop is good. You're equity is so high with a wired pair of tens that raising has value.The turn is harsh, why did he stop n go?Honestly, if you use the converter i'll give you the answer. :wink:

raise that turn. he bet into you on the flop, I've seen idiots just keep on betting even though someone raised them. so raise that turn

Are you serious, you are not at all concerned of an overpair with all of the raising going on preflop? What about a set? Why jam the pot with bets when you have a weak hand?

At least you have a hand, there are prolly allot in with overcards but then again john 3bets preflop(after 2 raises) that smells like a strong hand, I think a pp, I think calling down this hand will be the best no need to get agressive since they all look like callingstations and I think you got beaten by a AJ/JJ/QQ or smt

personally, i almost like a fold here. In this spot, its downright moronic to think a measly pair of tens are good...with like 6 people to the flop or whatever it was, there being a strong chance there are other high pockets out...and an overcard...it is WAY to likely that someone if not two or three people have you beat by small sets, AJ, JJ QQ KK AA or even J9 for two pair...i may call 1 more bet on the turn to try to spike a ten...but c'mon, i know pot odds of calling one last bet because the pot is so big, but when that is talked about there is definitely discretion involved...a huge part of a winning strategy is also SAVING bets...you can find a better spot to try to make some money...you could easily be dead right now or at best drawing to 2 outs...

ive read a few of your posts swift, and i dont think you're wrong about holdem at all...you actually very knowledgeable and most of all, you acknowledge the fact that you may NOT know...thats important for anyone who's still learning (as we all are) keep it up and good luck

Looks good to me.The stop and go confuses me too (Someone tried it on me after I raised a 234 flop with aces. I check-called down to find that he was basically trying to emulate his favorite poker heroes and chase me off with a busted 6-high straight draw.), and could mean a lot of things--he could have a real hand, or he's not considering the implications of your raise and is continuing a stone-cold bluff.

yes the reaising PF is odd here, but I'm looking at how passive John223 is playing his hand. Normally a limp reraise means AA or KK, right. But he didn't threebet the flop when the hero raised(I hate these damn HHs, you can miss things on them), even a monkey on that flop would threebet w/KK or AA, so why did he stop-n-go. Likewise goes for a set as a monkey would threebet the flop if they hit a set. I don't see how a lone Jack helps out either hand out there against the hero as they either called or bet on the flop. Tell me how that Jack helped one of the villians, I'm not seeing set warning either by any of the villians
