[nl25] cold call a raise into overpair?

im getting tired now and i honestly believe this to be the worst hand i played all day.

is this okay?

or should it be a rule of thumb to basically set mine with my tens here given i am not the aggressor?

lol do not just setmine with tens they make a great pair!!

3betting pre is good and then i'd get it in on this flop

umm thinking about it i think you played it fine after having flatted preflop.

If you're "setmining" you should be folding when you miss the flop.


3bet pre? You've been playing 25nl for awhile now, TT is a pretty insta 3bet in position against most of the fish, but iuno. I'm still "rebuilding" at 10nl. T_T

Unless I've got stats and he's normally very passive, I'm at the very very latest raising turn.

Calling preflop is fine unless villain is fairly loose, he did raise utg+1 after all. A raise at any point postflop would seem to commit your stack when you will be getting it in with very few weaker hands. It might feel stationy, but I don't mind your play at all. Unless he is very passive and tight in whih case we could find a fold on the turn.
