Don't like the flat pre when you'll be OOP for the rest of the hand, unless you're specifically setmining.

In the absence of a definite read that says BB only ever plays JJ+, exactly what sort of flop do you want to see with TT, if you're not getting in on that? Unless of course, you're only playing to hit a set, but that seems a bit nitty to me.

Out of interest, what do you do if the flop comes ATx? Do you like your middle set then?

a fold here is bad i think, i normally see a pot bet on a flop like this is almost never an over pair

i like a shove fwiw

i disagree, but you will see some stupid hands too for sure

silly comparison imo. Obv we're stackin off with the 2nd nuts but TT is hardly the 2nd nuts here

i doubt we can narrow BB's range down to strictly AA, but he can still have more hands that beat us on the flop in the hand OP posted

i don't like 3betting with just tens cause it's only 5th nuts preflop, you're gonna see too many jacks, queens, kings on the flop. i hoped to flop a set or get heads up and hopefully get to showdown with the best hand.

hand is played fine imo. You could 3bet, but if you don't feel safe postflop setmining is alright.

shoving this flop seems pretty bad.
