i guess raising from MP2 is not that good idea with only K10s. however, i do it time to time.

A 3rd EXPENSIVE hand from B&M (2-4 limit) yesterday :

I am LP with AA.

I raise, EP 3bets, I cap preflop. I already put EP in KK,QQ or JJ in my head.

Flop: 4-7-9
EP bets, I raise, EP 3bets and I cap. Another guy is in the hand, calling all raises but i have good read on him. this other guy is fish and not to worry.

Turn: 4-7-9-10
EP bets, I raise, EP 3 bets, I cap other guy has folded.

River: 4-7-9-10-J
EP checks, I bet, EP raises, I call

EP shows 10-10.

What street do i lay it down or go to check call. My fault was not putting him on 10-10. i had forced myself to think he had QQ or KK or JJ based on preflop and flop capping and so i had him beat and was raising like stupid.

does it just happen or do i take a lesson from it ? I mean should i have just called from turn on.

Hand 2: I would check/call the turn.

Once he 3-bets the turn, he probably has something better than an over-pair. At that point I call down. Remember, B&M is much more passive than online play. When I play the local 4/8, 6/12, 8/16 games I will make folds and just call instead of re-raise in lots of spots where I wouldn't at the Party 3/6 game.

Hand 1: Well played.

Hand 2: I'd probably check/call the flop, I don't think the bet/3-bet line is worth much here. You only have a small edge if and only if UTG calls all bets.

Nice river bet.

Hand 3: I'd call down after the turn 3-bet aswell thinking TT or 99.
