Am I Playing this right?
RicayBoy:
Thanks very much for the posts. I must admit folding pre was not something I had seriously considered, but I suppose if I consider my opponent very tight I have enough to chips to wait for a better spot and of course avoid any difficult decisions post-flop.
Whilst the flop was a good one for me, if I put his opening range as say pairs 88 and better, AK and AQ and possibly AJ s (I"m virtually never putting him on nothing), it does mean that a couple of his possible starting hands 88 and 99 that I was crushing pre flop have now overtaken me.
Would a tightish player always C-bet that flop with AK or AQ or would he just give up and check fold to live to fight another day knowing that I would almost always be ahead of him? Should I have taken the hint with the big C-bet or is it just impossible to fold 10 10 there. I"m still 38 pc against AA KK or QQ but a bigger dog (31 pc) against JJ and now 88 and 99...

You have pegged him as a decent player. no decent player would open 3.5x preflop, then just check/fold the flop without having a go at it. I would expect either a c-bet or a check/raise, perhaps a check/call, but never a check/fold.

Once you have decided to play the hand preflop, you can never ever fold to a c-bet on this flop.

Why can"t a decent player check/fold a flop that hits a preflop cold caller"s range?
Don"t think c-betting this flop with ak would be 100% standard at all as the preflop raiser

After we see the result it is obv much easier for us all to find reasons to fold pre, but in reality, don"t we all flat call and then get it in on the flop in that situation? I reckon most of us probably would.

Exactly.
35x deep.... I think it"s overly nitty to be chucking TT away on the button against a single raiser.

Agreed. Amazed how many people are folding here. And at the range people are putting the raiser on. Wonder if they"d do the same with Jacks?
And if people are throwing away tens on the button against a single raiser can you let me know when you"re next playing please. I"ll be the one raising every hand with garbage knowing you"re not getting involved unless you have JJ+, maybe AK. :)
