[NL100] What to do in this situation?

Ok well, I made a really bad play.. I already know that but I'm wondering what would you guys have done?

I was left of the Button and I was holding 10/10, I raised to $15 and everyone(7 players at the table excluding me) folded but the Button(to my right), he calls

Flop comes 2/A/3 rainbow

I was first to act, so I wanted to put in a feeler bet and put $10 into a $37-$40 pot, he re-raised to $45, so here I'm thinking "Does he have an ace? What hand would he be playing with?"

He was the chip leader with about $500 and I was short stack with about $70(Down to like $50 after betting $10 on the flop)

For some reason I put him on AJ but I don't know...I wanted to call but I think he had an ace..

What would you guys have done in this situation differently? And what do you think he has?

PS: This was at a cash game @ Casino not internet

see if he plays with his oreos

i would buyin for 100bbs in the first place. as i understand it you had like 20bbs or something right?

left of the button but you're first to act preflop? errr

On the hand, he probably has an ace, but you can't possibly know just from the action. Next time either commit on the flop or check/fold. If the feeler bet didn't give you any information at all, then why did you make it?
Furthermore, just buy in for more or sit at a lower stakes table.

lol

So it was like 200NL and you had 70$? Might as well just shove it preflop lol.

eh what

so you raise 15bbs preflop?
chipleader? it aint a tournament t.t

Hmm...NO I wasn't first to act pre-flop...I was first to act AFTER the flop, since he was the button

Also I'm not totally sure on how this forum works, but this is 1/2NL table(not sure why I put [NL100], probably to fit in with the crowd... LOL...Maybe it should have been [NL200]?)

It's 1/2 NL, I bought in for $100 got some good outs but didn't hit them, so was down to like $60ish

I used the 50 * BB(2) rule to buy in, which equals to $100

You need to learn a lot more about poker before you start playing with hundreds of dollars.

Your situation is difficult because you don't have enough money behind you. As played, a bigger flop bet would be better because if he still plays with you, he'll be sure you have an A and a call or a raise will mean you're beaten. Your small bet is a tell of your weakness and an aggressive player could raise you with nothing. A shove preflop with TT for 70 (35BBs) after 5 or so limpers is not bad either.. You're likely ahead and would want to commit the most money then.

Basically if you want to learn poker start playing online with pennies and you'll be good after a year and a half.

i think u got unlucky mate. keep trying.

Anyone else wants to chime in?

is this a level?

So you bet for information, he gives you some information, and then you want to ignore said information and call anyways? Brilliant

since you're short stacked and out of position and the only person/people in the pot have limped, go ahead and raise enough preflop to make the flop an easy shove, shoving is preflop is fine too. but as played you should probably just bet and fold to a raise.

fyp

Don't buyin for less than 100bb. If 100bb feels too big for you, you probably don't have the proper bankroll (between 20 and 30 buyins - that is 100bb buyins - is standard). I would recommend learning to play by playing the microstakes online, before playing with significant sums of money (which 200$ is to most, of course it depends, it could be nothing at all to you ).

I use much more aggressive bankroll management in live games as you're playing way less hands an hr at like 10x the winrate thus having lower varience than online as you'll usually only swing up anyway. I generally play with only about 10-15 buyins and even play a bit out of my roll if the games are especially good. (usually in live games all the games are nice and juicy anyway)

and dude you have $70 vs a standard button raise with TT. how is this not a shove? Short stack poker is ridiculously easy to play as you make all of your decisions preflop and don't have to make any tricky decisions post flop making this insanely profitable for a weak player with bad post flop skills as he/she won't make many mistakes or as many mistakes as the other players at the table as they won't adjust to shortstackers properly (most people can't/don't)
Basically with less than 50bb's you're going to be either push/folding as you really don't have much room to maneuver after the flop anyway so once you raise or 3 bet a hand. the money will go in almost always.

oh and feeler bets are retarded and spewy please don't do it.

I raised to $15 Pre-flop with 10/10, it went all the way around to him since I raised and he called.

I was SB he was Dealer.

Flop came and I bet $10, he re-raised to 45 and I folded

You need 100bb's to play? I read somewhere on here about the 50 * BB rule?

Well I didn't buy in with less then $100(50BB's) I just had some unlucky draws which set me down about $30ish.

If he raised or he re-raised me PRE-FLOP, I'm obviously calling cause I can't see the ace or any over cards on the flop yet.

I played online a few times, with $20(friend gave me), long story short, $500 in profit in 1-2months. $200 was from a Freeroll tournament thought =/ Only $500 nothing to brag about since a lot of you guys on here make money in 4-5 digits.

I don't have a CC to play online, so I just ignore it and play at casino

LOL, no I took that "information" and folded, but I didn't know if that was false information or so.
