According to my chart, this one I should 3Bet

and call if re-raised

PokerStars, Hold'em No Limit - $0.10/$0.25 - 6 players

UTG: $45.23 (181 bb)
MP: $28.55 (114 bb)
CO: $29.27 (117 bb)
BU: $23.99 (96 bb)
SB: $54.10 (216 bb)
BB (Hero): $30.52 (122 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.35) Hero is BB with T♥:T♦:
3 players fold, BTN raises to $0.62, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.37 <<< closing the action, let's see a flop, but don't want to bloat the pot. OTOH, it would have been nice to take the hand rake-free

Flop: ($1.34) 8♦:3♣:K♠: (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN checks <<< an advantage to the 3Bet pre-flop option, if I had, the pot would likely be mine here because I have more Ks in my range than BTN, or do I?

Turn: ($1.34) 6♣: (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $0.64, Hero calls $0.64 <<< If he had had a K, I think BTN would have bet the flop, so my TT is likely good.

River: ($2.62) 2♥: (2 players)

You have KK+ and AK advantage. On dry K high boards you can blindly bet range and opponent cant do anything about this.

As for river - check/call best option - he will have a lot of trash in range.

3bet preflop.

As played you should bet OTT, 75%. There is an overcard on the board already and flush draw appears. As played i am gonna check call on this brick river

Standard play would be a 3bet pre-flop or villain is tight.

Flop play is standard and on the turn a thin value bet seems better. If you check/call like now leading river woukd be weird with a bluff catcher.

Thanks for the feedback,
Yeah, I get that I should have 3Bet — oh well...

River: ($15.77) 8♦: (2 players)
CO checks, Hero checks

Total pot: $15.77 (Rake: $0.71)

Showdown:
BU (Hero) shows A♣:T♣: (two pair, Tens and Eights - higher kicker)
CO shows T♠:J♠: (two pair, Tens and Eights)
BU (Hero) wins $15.06
