How bad was this or was it almost unavoidable? Opponent seemed pretty TAG. I was sure he had AK or AQ. Do I win here enough time to justify the play?

Limping UTG is weak. Fold or raise.

Need at least a $3 bet on flop.

Lead on the turn is good. That's a huge re-raise by villan, so unless you had seen him make that play before, fold. Top 2-pair is good, but not that good.

That being said, I'm a bitch and probably would've called too.

*EDIT-I missed your $24.50 raise on the flop, so it wasn't such a huge raise by villan. I still think its possible to get away from.

i lookd at the betting patterns up to the turn, i havent yet looked at the results, your 9 handed with 2 limpers + blinds in the hand, he raises before the co, i put him on a decnet pocket pair 77-1010, maybe jj....he checks the flop calls your bet...

check raises you, you raise, he pushes because he knows he has your ace beat...ive learned that sometimes ppl slow play monster hands waiting for the aces so they can stack the shit uot of you


so im thinking you got beat by a set of 9's or 10s...

i had a problem myself reading hands, esp with 2 pair ive gotten alot better at laying hands down, its tough but id like to think i was right...good luck to u,read alot and post alot of hands...you'll get better
