Villain was kinda tagish. No further reads.
I'm no hand judge...
But flat calling preflop aint the best move in that situation... or what?
What else do you want to do? Reraise and isolate yourself against JJ+ and AK?
Fold? - to weak imo.
perflop call looks ok , if you 3x raise & he pushes you end up with decision and calling at best for coinflip
Flop , his check/raise looks strong but would be tempted to push only because he may see your bet as a steal and thinking what are the chances of him having big pocket pair but he is getting 3-1 to call which is a problem
Hi all,
I think a call here is optimal. He could be making a move against us with overs, on a board that he assumes did not hit us. So calling gets the most value IMO.
Also, I like the call pre. 3betting TT against UTG raisers is not good.. turns our hand into a bluff.
Yep, I agree. His line just make no sense at all. If he has the strong overpair he would bet and hope for the raise most of the times imo.
He had AK btw.
btw: I shoved over his raise because I don't want to see any overcard, especially not an ace. Well, there argument for calling and shoving. I just prefer shoving to not get in an ugly spot on the turn. He probably calls AK very often anyway as he did here

This is also true. But If he did not have AK, he would not call your shove, whereas he would often second barrel the turn. So that's why I prefer that line. If I did make a coldcall with QQ, I would definitely call the flop, but with TT it's also OK to shove.
