Comments on how I played this hand? I didn't feel he'd have a T/smaller PP often enough to make river a profitable call. Maybe make another bet on river?
Full Version: Good Fold?
Bet at least the pot on the flop.
At these stakes you may want to raise more pf but 3x the BB is ok. Flop you should bet closer to the pot. Fold is good.
Thnks for the replies
Why should I be betting more on the flop? Isn't that incouraging correct play from my opponent? It's still incorrect for him to call the bet I made with a draw/Ten (isn't it?), but he's more likely to call that when he shouldn't then a flop bet.

Yeah, but with your bet you're pushing a fine edge....basically giving him correct odds to draw to any flush. It's OK to take a pot down when your hand is very vulnerable. Villain would expect you to make a continuation bet on the flop, and if I held something like AhKx I would've called your bet.
Ah alright, thanks for the explanation.
