Hand Advice Post

Looks like they might have AQ+ and put you on a resteal.  They were raising a lot, but not crazy so I think I'm folding this to the shove.

As to how I play it in your position, I think I would just flat and see the flop.  While not being "crazy" them seem fairly active and agressive and might play 77+ in the same manner knowing that you don't want to risk your stack this close to the money.

Certainly an interesting spot.

A prime example of why I always have difficulty with TT. Here's my thoughts:
You can be up against any number of hands, some you beat bigtime (i.e. lower pairs), some coinflips (AJ+) and some that have you on the ropes (JJ+) - If you are gonna call this you were probably better off shoving yourself.

Personally I like flatting TT here, it costs you 1000 to call and you are still in with a decent chance after the flop. You're 8-1 flopping a set in which case you stand a good chance of taking all 17k of his chips, i.e. 17-1 payoff. If flop comes all high cards I'd lead out but shut down if played back, same for low cards but then keeping value betting.

Of course all of this is depends on your style and how you read your opponent. Have you seen him making this move before? What did he show (if anything)?

You just turned 1010 into a bluff by playing it this way.

If you're folding to a 4-bet shove, you shouldn't be raising.  I don't like flatting w/ 1010 here, we are OOP and most flops will miss us/have overs and all of our options suck on a 9-high flop if the villian is competent.

Personally, I would probably have just shoved, but as played you have to call.

A couple of things - as pointed out mining os OK if a touch marginal so flatting isn't bad & is the safe course. If you are going to raise look at your bet sizing, that was your issue here. If you raise decide how you're going to handle a 4 bet and size your bet accordingly, if you are going to fold or you want to induce a 4 bet go with ~2500 so you have an easy fold. If you are calling go with 6500/7000 to show commited & make an easy call. As played you end up looking at about a 13K+ call into a 21K pot or 1.5:1 - just sick. With your bet size you offered yourself a nasty hard choice and because of that he could be doing this for FE alone.

my 2 cents

 Elite - I like ya , ur probably a solid player, ur friends w/ Lab Rat and those guys, etc ... But you really have to stop posting hands in the hand advice area of P5s or you will probably get worse ...

Unless villain is a nit then this is a pretty simple 3/bet call.  I hate your 3 bet sizing though as it's less likely to induce a light shove.  Expect villain to show up with a wide range of pairs/aces/paint/etc. 

3 bet folding here with effective stacks is hella bad. 

If villain is a nit then flatting is probably fine.
