Seems fine to me. If you're called here though,
it's time to slow down. If you're raised...well...
you may have to give it up.

I'd like to go heads up with TT, so I'd pop the pre-flop raise to $2.25 to $3. MP1 is getting almost 3 to 1 to call the $1.25 raise and once he calls, the other guy's gonna come along. I don't like playing against potentially 4 overcards.

With one caller, the pot will be about the same size post flop, and I'd make the same continuation bet.

Calling preflop and playing for a set might have been better.

That's what I love about 88-TT in no limit, you can play it crazy or you can play it for a set.

Multiway is bad for you though, re-raise notwithstanding. Honestly I'm check/folding the flop.

Yep, as the number of players increase, the chances of making that continuation bet should drop exponentially. With 2 other players in the pot, I'd take the stab maybe only 1/3 to 1/2 the time I would with only one player. With three in the pot, better save your money =)

Agree here. Raising or calling preflop are fine options but if you are going to raise you ahve to make it more like 2.50 or 3. i would either call or raise to 3. I usually mix in the two here.

Post flop is the same. I will make a continuation bet occosianaly but it is unlikely wiht more than one opponenet. I dont think the bet is bad but neither is checking.

Same things as everyon else.... bump the raise to atleast 2. Continuation bet is fine. Slow down on the turn if you're called though because the pot's getting to expensive to try to make a k fold.
