Too weak?

offshoot

if he increased his bets then i fold cos im probably beat and i found it out without having to raise!

i would probably play the hand the same as Dudeskin. Its not always about pricing out draws. With weaker hands i would be more concerned about keeping the pot small rather than trying to take the pot down by risking more chips.

One more thing if you had the ten in your hand what would you do?

In Response to Re: Too weak? : By raising this flop and repping AK/AQ that means you're turning your hand into a bluff, but I dont think trying to get someone to fold a weaker ace is a good idea as in the long run it will be very -EV imo. By raising all you will really achieve is to fold out better and give away more chips when you're behind, whereas by flatting you're keeping the pot small and then can re-evaluate on the turn depending on the card / his bet size / his betting tendencies etc, and also by flatting the flop you give him a chance to continue with worse / bluffs on later streets.

Yh I get where your coming from, what I struggle with sometimes is probably being too aggressive when I think I have the best hand or in this spot think someone is bluffing me so i try and bluff back. In position especially it defo makes sense to just let them keep betting into you with weak hands and keeping it small makes it cheaper down the streets plus a raise only gets called by better which I have to learn lol.
