    just call flop

    you shouldnt be raising for info

    you raise for value or as a bluff.  TT on a Q 6 8 flop is neither

    as played fold

    what are you raising for? Value or a bluff? 

    If its a bluff its a fold. If its for value its still a fold as he tells you TT is no good, however if your 100% sure a Q isnt in his range i call. I think because of the play we can rule out 66, 88 and QQ. So that takes out sets. 

    Im encouraged to think he was something like AQ/AKcc. Therefore its a simple laydown imo.

    dont turn your 10s into a bluff here, flat the flop lead he could have a fd, the chips you have wasted here you could have used them to call his turn bet, you dont need to raise for info because he will tell you how strong his hand is on later streets

    well as i still belive there was a chance my 10`s were good i raised but he never flats with a Q as they dont no how to lay down Q2, but what about flush draw do u think he could of been playing flush draw?

    i just felt if i raised and he shoved he had Q, if i raise and he flats he had flush draw and if i raise and he had nothink he justs folds. the reason i think this is because its a freeroll 90% of the players in it play there hands ABC so if they got Q they think its the nutz as they have got top pair and they shove, if they got FD they call to see if they hit.

    it would cost you the same if not less chips by just calling to find out were you are and you get the chance for your hand to improve
