should i have put him on AA or KK or QQ and folded on turn or i played it fine ?? i raise 10-10 UTG too many times. Is that a bad thing. Just limp in and fold to overcards and play strong for undercards is better option ??

Preflop: Hero is UTG with T, T.
Hero raises, UTG+1 calls, 2 folds, MP2 3-bets, MP3 calls, 4 folds, Hero calls, UTG+1 calls.

Flop: (13.50 SB) 8, 6, 4 (4 players)

Turn: (12.25 BB) 3 (2 players)
Hero checks, MP2 bets, Hero calls.

River: (14.25 BB) 2 (2 players)
Hero checks, MP2 bets, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 16.25 BB

You can play it 2 ways really, I raise TT utg to thin the field, but I also limp behind other limpers sometimes. I always open raise TT. Whenever I open, I play postflop like it's a monster, but whenever I limp behind I play for sets.

This hand was played fine assuming no reads. You have an overpair against the preflop aggressor who could likely have an unimproved AK. Calling down after the flop cap isn't that big of a mess esp because the pot is really too big to fold to 1 bet.

Looks fine, I'd play it the same; maybe call the flop raises depending upon a read on MP2.

I think your only mistake was 3-betting the flop. Once MP2 raises the flop, I'm definitely suspicious from his 3-bet preflop. Most players will 3-bet preflop with only QQ,KK,AA, AKs. If that is the case here, it's 9:2 you are beat. I would probably lead out the flop here.

I almost wrote at the bottom of my last post:

(Waiting for Fnord to tell me I am wrong)

Not being bitchy here ... Fnord tends to tell me I am wrong when I assume opponents will play reasonably at low stakes. I agree that this is a fallacious assumption.

(in reference to a .5/1 hand) Reasonable conclusion, but the thought process sucks.

AQo, 10BB on the flop, paired rainbow board and he's looking to fold to a single bet?

...then you posted that weak/tight gem about pre-flop 3-bet ranges for opponents you don't have a read on.

I'm not that good of player, it's just the replies were that bad...

Just to defend my post from the other hand...

Yes, there was a big pot already built and yes the board was friendly, but you have 4 players left on the flop with no mentioned reads, a 3bet and capper PF behind you, you are being bet into, and your outs are discounted. If I sit at the button, I probably raise, but in the middle with the hand playing the way it did, I fold.
