Yup, there is no way he has that ten, you have the best hand too.

Agreed. In this and the two other examples I posted I do think I had the best hand, but it's a situation where a lot of people might lay the hand down rather than continue to test and feel out the other player. Even the last one, the kings and queens, that ace could be a bad card for me - he's clearly repping two pair with the ace involved. But I think I'm ahead, so I'm happy to keep raising.

I'm proud of the 2nd one even though there's not much money involved. He pulls a pretty obvious play - I'm guessing without so much as a queen - so I have to think my ace is good. He thinks I'm repping the trips, which is fine, but actually I'm just betting the best hand.

By the way I think the guys at this table have figured out not to run too many little bluffs on me. I've made too many raises back at them in these situations, never showing cards... that's got to put a little fear into them when they're thinking of repping a hand. Of course it also means my set of 4s just failed to get paid off by a legit top pair.
