10-10 early

Comments? Pre flop trying the squeeze play. Figured 10-10 was good here. Was check on the turn weak?

Preflop is OK, I prefer calling but reraise is fine - you will win the pot uncontested preflop a lot here.

On the flop you bet less than half the pot, which is weak. You have a vulnerable hand and I would like to take this pot now not allow overcards to come on the turn, as happens here. Bet 240 at least.

Turn c/f is fine.

River bet is waaayyyy too small. You're letting marginal hands like AJ see a cheap showdown, bet at least 400. Min 3bet is really silly, just shove. If he flopped/rivered the straight, gg. I'm definately shoving 2nd time it gets to me.

Would betting the turn to try to rep an Ace have been a god awful move? I'm honestly asking...curious

[fdnypoker]

I put opp on A-10+ or small pair so the turn scred me a little. When I hit the set on the river I figured a small bet would opp to call if they had the ace. Once he reraised I was pretty much dead. Opp turned over the JQ and took down the pot. Looks like a much bigger bet on the flop would have been the right move.

Given the small bet on the flop I think villain has an ace a lot here. If the flop bet had been bigger I would consider it, but still check fold. Small pairs check behind a lot on the turn anyway since the A is such a scare card.

When I hit the set on the river I figured a small bet would opp to call if they had the ace.

Most opps still call a bet of 400+ with AJ+. Betting 180 is losing a lot of value here.

You preflop raise is fine, your flop bet is too weak as noted by Badgers, bet about 2/3 pot here and hope the hand ends here.
I would probably bet the turn too

[Geanosssss]

I hate when scare cards come on the turn...

wow opp really did play this horribly...

[hitorque]

If your opponent is going to make those type of bets with QJ, then there's really not much else you can do - he called a big raise on the flop when he had absolutely no business doing so. He probably would have called the turn, waiting for his inside straight to hit. I guess I agree with the others on the size of the flop bet, maybe it would be enough to push him out. Hope you get him next time.

Opp played badly but your flop bet let him stay in (even though you took odds for a gutshot off him).

I dont mind the river, reading through it, I felt TP was a much more likely holding for him than a straight.
