Now that I look back at this hand I guess I should have probably bet on turn. I think he maybe would have pot controlled me with JJ or QQ there that beats me and that's all. With anything else that beats me he probably would not have checked. What do you think?

Raise preflop or call, both are fine. I generally raise a guy with his stats, but small sample size, so stats could be way off.

As played, raise flop.

As played, bet turn.


He's not pot controlling QQ or JJ on the turn here. Why would he do that with a hand as strong as an overpair?
More likely he's giving up with unimproved overcards, or wants a cheap river with a flush draw. Bet for value.

Bet turn. This is an empty cbet with someone giving up. Micros has a lot of players with high flop cbet % and lower on turn or river. Float them often and bet turn when they give up. Easy money.

yes, but small because you're crushing his range and you want to give him a reason to call w/ A high. ~ .15.

Easy hand, his Cbet on the flop is normal and through his stats he has an huge range but probably missed the flop.
Bet the Turn here to defend your overpair and dont give him a free card. If something like 10 + comes on the River and he raises it is a tough
decision because he probably has two overcards.

Instead of winning it on the river you would have won it on the turn with a higher security.

If he had JJ or QQ, he would be betting the turn to protect his own hand!
So, yeah, you need to be betting to protect your own hand as stated above.
also, it is rare to find people at that level exercising that kind of self control to pot control with an overpair. If you are thinking that deeply yourself maybe it's time you moved up.

TT good hand anyway to get some value, so your guessing right, bet turn, he folds, like someone said above he trying to see every flop, high flop cbet%, and lower on postflop.

3bet pre for value we should be ahead almost always...

perfect board for 10s bet 3/4 or more of pot.... never give a free card on turn we are simply stacking off and making him pay to beat us
