Haven't played any poker in a week because I was moving and doing some other stuff.

So I want to make sure I'm playing the easy hands right.

I don't have a good read on villain. Haven't seen him show down any crap hands. Not sure about his postflop play. But I think I have to give up on this turn OOP.

Same villain as last hand. I get it HU on him, hit my card on the turn, but his C/R is a little fishy. Still, I'm not folding TP2K.

Both hands maddeningly standard?

Standard.

yes

i had almost an identical hand to ur first one and i was just about to post it...had jacks...eventual board had kxxqa...made basically the same play as u...at least i know it wasnt a complete donk move on my part

Am I the only one who isn't raising TT out of the BB?

Yes.

i recommended it in another thread and i'll recommend it again.

SSHE.

aseem

That was funny.

Yes I have read SSHE....I'm stil not raising TT there.
Sorry

And you're still the only one

Wow! Thank you for contributing to this thread.

That is all!!

I made that mistake from EP... had 10 10 UTG, just limped in. Flop came 10 4 3 rainbow. I bet out the rest of the betting rounds to lose to a 25o that spiked a 6 on the river for a straight. Player had completed in SB. No way we plays that if raised, and I doubt they would stay in from SB if you raised from BB either.

Moral of the story, if I'm first in I raise 10 10 wherever I am now.

I never said not to open a pot for a raise. Can you show me where I said that??
