Three villains in this hand....

First one was pretty loose aggressive. I would guess 27/16. Likes to bet out uhhhhhlot.

Second was your normal passive/aggressive, bet only my strong hands player. He was the original raiser.

Third was just awful and funny thing about this hand is I put him on exactly what he had which was KJ (has no relevance to this problem)

I feel like I played this awful because of my current read on Player two (original raiser). In the heat of the battle I put him on AK but then realized in hindsight that he would have led out with that.

I think I should have bet the flop out instead of attempting to check raise. I still think I get raised back by OR but it gives me the chance to re-evaluate.

I'm not a hundred percent sure i know what you're asking.

You flop trip tens on a rainbow board, while its far from unbeatable, checking on the flop was not a bad idea as it would give an opponent a chance to make a pair and bet it or bluff at it, which is what i assumed the button ended up doing. So, checking the flop is a fairly decent play. While i like the check-raise here i don't think over betting the pot is the right size, personally i would bet an amount that will get more players to call or someone holding an ace to shove over top of me. I probably would have raised to something between the range of 1.75-2.25. What were the results at the showdown?

He can't overbet the pot as it's PLH. I'd lead, personally, as it masks your hand more (a c/r basically says "I have a 9, call if you have a better one").

I would just lead, but c/r calling isn't bad

well when I clicked the raise pot button after I had the three callers I immediately said, "oh crap I just got trapped didn't I." The button folded and the original raiser re-raised instantly all in. At this point because of his tendencies I obviously thought he had AA or A10. He showed AA.

I would have bet the flop once the preflop raiser checked, unless we have VERY GOOD reason to believe button will take a stab at this pot.

If MP1 is the loose aggressive player, after we bet the flop, or start putting any money in, just close your eyes and get it in, given stack sizes, and reads. If MP1 is NOT the LAG, then be more clear in your OPs next time. smile.gif
