raise but i probably fold preflop actually. Maybe I call if the table is right. I'm not too happy with the hand but since you are in position, make the draws pay.

You're folding QTo on the button? Good god, man!

probably not but i haven't played limit in so long, who knows anymore. I don't know if anyone should listen to my limit advice anymore. Actually, who actually listens to any of my advice?

Youve gotta raise that--you have top pair, decent kicker, and draws on the board? Make them pay. Even if he made two pair, you still have 5 outs to play wth....

Agreed, pop it up.

Yup, we've got top pair and a decent kicker, so we raise.

Well, that's a pretty awful card. I still think you gotta bet though.

bet, fold if raised and if called, check down the river.

I agree -- no one has shown any real aggression as of yet, so there's no reason to think our hand isn't good. A flush draw will usually bet out here, but if we get check raised we'll have to re-evaluate.

i take the free showdown and check although that is about as good of a card that can hit that doesn't improve your hand.

Piers wins -- this hand is a lesson in value betting. That is scary, but no one has indicated that they connected with it in any way, and they could just as easily be calling with draws or a weaker ten. Getting checkraised sucks, but we shouldn't be so scared of it that we take the lower EV play. We should be asking ourselves "how many bets will I gain here on average, and how many bets will I lose here on average?"
