9 handed @ 1/2 nl, hero has 1010 in EP.

UTG ($600) limps
Hero ($400) raises to 16
folds around to sb
SB ($400) calls
BB ($250) calls
UTG calls

4 ways to the flop ($64):

268 cc

SB leads out $50. 2 folds and the action is on hero.

Villain has seemed fairly competent so far over a limited sample. I saw him lead out like this twice (not too often) and once he did this with an open ender. I'm sure i have more than 50% chance of having the best hand here, And if I started the hand with $200 i think its an easy shove, but the problem is I think have too much behind to shove. Calling which seemed really messy, and I felt like I'd be folding to a lot of turn bets so I folded and it felt super nitty. Is this a call and evaluate on the turn?

Thanks

Just Fyi: "1010" reads weird. Use "TT" instead.

I'm not folding an overpair with position to a single donk without a very strong read.

As for the hand, seems like a pretty easy call on the flop. A fold is nitty since there are a lot of draws opponent could have.

Never folding here, especially after having seen him donk a draw earlier. This deep, I'd call flop and call down on good runouts.

Tough one.

What happened?

I call looking to calm down if no A or club hits.

I know this may sound fishy but unless hes the type to reraise all in with a draw, I would min raise him on the flop and see what happens.

Except that if villain has a big combo draw, you just let him realize a lot of equity for cheap. Also, if villain has you crushed (sets), then you just spewed.

So yes, your line is fishy.

Yes, its suspect I realize that. It would depend on the player obviously but it works in some spots.

Its not spew against a set though because if he shoves, Im folding (since I said I wouldnt do this against a guy I know will reraise all in with a draw). I could lose a lot less against sets but theres no way of knowing at this point. Way to many variables with the next 2 cards and villains action

Well = he's repping set or draw. Best to call and see what he does on turn. If no scare card and he bet's 1/2 pot + - I'd fold. If he checks, I'd bet.

Never folding. 100% call and evaluate turn. There are lots of draws, 8x, and 99 you're ahead off. Don't raise because you already got value from draws and you don't want to commit or get blown off the hand if he reraises. You have position. Use it to your advantage and see another card plus villain's action.

Agree. Never raising or folding here against described V.
