I'm in a long downswing atm (we all know how that can warp mentality). But my thinking with the strength of the turn reraise is that he wont have pocket 10's as they would have bet the flop. He could be doing this with a slowplayed jj qq aa / doing this with a few draws. I bet in the 1st place to extract value from any 10 hand holding. I jammed to his raise for value... or what I think is value. For a long time, this sort of hand has happened a lot, am I supposed to roll with my initial thoughts? Did I play this ok? Or am I actually making a mistake in how I'm playing this? Should I have bet the flop? I don't think I'm backing down from a reraise if he fired there though either.

Thoughts appreciated.

you forgot to bet the flop

This is a very easy b/f on every street (except pre) IF you were full stacked. With your stack just b/c every street

Buy-in full and isolate 1,25$.

I prefer betting the flop to get value from any kind of pair or draw.

On the turn I would b/f. Villain would bluff the flop if he likes bluffing. I see no reason for unknown player to check back on the flop just to reraise bluff this turn. Players in these stakes like to slowplay their sets on the flop because they think you are just c/folding, so they hope you hit something on the turn to get more value.

And I've accidentally posted this in the full ring forum. Getting nothing right today lol. Apologies guys.

Does anyone think in favour for the check on the flop? if not why? Why so straight forward on this board? Am I going to profit from betting this flop and usually taking it down small on the flop?

The only card I would of hated to see was an ace (even another heart brings a strong FD). Anything above a 9 and I'd have more chance of them catching something + my check on the flop seems weak enough to now get some small pairs to call off some value bets.

This was why I checked the flop.

I am not saying I'm right, pretty sure I'm wrong. I'd like to know why though.

Playing so short it really dosnt matter what you do here. Pre should be at least $1 and then just bet/call every street like Oxzy said.

this

Got it. Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it. Taking a break, going to re-evaluate my game.
