Hand for discussion

Yeah, but with the measly $15 i have left, can we really fold?

What you do preflop is gonna directly reflect what happens postflop. You gotta ask yourself, is this gonna be a good enough bet to keep out the drawing hands? What could they be thinking? Aggression is the key factor here. Always be aggressive, in position, to take those lil pots and cushion the loses to pots like these, and hopefully eliminate some of those bad beats as well.

I don't see a problem with flatting preflop with T's. There are too many hands he could hold that can call a 3 bet with that we are flipping with. We are basically set mining here and don't want to invest too much preflop incase we don't flop a set and overs come. Like I posted above, I think the biggest mistake came when we actually hit our set and didn't bet it hard enough to knock out the draws.

ya i agree ya get max value out of your made hands, either by making the draws fold and winning, or running into the occasional letdown. Most times betting proper will win you pots. Its a hard hard game to master, but get what you can when you can with those made situations.

Hopefully people will see this hand for what it is. It is a great learning experience that was paid for by someone else. The biggest thing to take from this hand is that when you have a made hand, try to take it down and win it.
