    villian was new to the table. 3rd hand since he sat down and he had put money in each pot.

    MP1 ($8.83)

    CO ($5.20)
    Button ($1.67)
    Hero (SB) ($2.04)
    BB ($2.80)
    UTG ($4.62)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with Q, A
    UTG calls $0.02, 3 folds, Button calls $0.02, Hero raises to $0.14, 2 folds, Button calls $0.12

    Flop: ($0.32) 10, Q, 2 (2 players)

    My 2 cents here. I think just about anyone worth his salt is raising QQ, and TT on the button when folded to.

    So those two hands become a very narrow part of his range. a set of 22 is possible, and QT is plausable, but I also think he may be trying to get it in here with any combination of 2 clubs he can muster.

    With the knowledge that he's played 3 hands in a row.. I think you're way ahead here.. Get it in and make a note.
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes

    insta-fist pump imo.

    I think the fact that hes played every hand is the key.

    I would definitely call here, I think you are way ahead of his range, I can easily see this line of play with KQ, QJ, KJ, 2 clubs etc...
    He may have slowplayed hands like AA,KK,QQ,TT but it is not likely, I agree with Rangar4 that if you are beat its probably to 22 or QT and I am paying them off here

    If you didn't want to stack off you shouldn't have played the hand this way. Work on standard value lines at these stakes. No need to get tricky with a guy who's calling you down with a pair of tens anyway.

    And as played call.

    Given the flop line you took, it's easiest call ever.

    Please explain? Was this not a pretty standard bet? Should I have bet it differently? Or should I have shoved as soon as he re-raised me?

    you raised PF and c/r'ed the flop, that's pretty far from a standard continuation bet.

    No, I mean he's an unknown at 10nl, so likely very passive. Most of your value from these guy's is going to come from bet/bet/bet. Especially on this flop with some nice draws out there. Way too often he's going to check it back an d you'll miss a street of value/give him a free card.

    The key to micros is these guys put way more money in the pot by calling rather than betting.

    OK OK Now I get the point!

    What these guys are saying Harley is that by raising PF you took the initiative in the hand. By check/raising the flop you might scare him off some of the hands you beat, and only get called by better (not always true obviously, but I think it's reasonable to assume that.)

    Obviously what Spenda, galop, and myself are saying is that you should have just led out on flop probly around a 3/4 to pot sized bet or somewhere in that area to make him drawing to the flush/straight incorrect.

    Next time you'll know.

    Hope it worked out!
