I read the opp for a ten on the flop, and when the clubs came I kept on hammering. When a second ten made an apperance on the river, I was almost sure I was beat, but the bet he made was too small in relation to the pot, and I had to call because I was pot-committed. This goes to show that reads do pay off..

$30 at least. Another option is that it's a draw heavy board and you might want to consider turn screwing him.
