Edik, thats pretty cool that you ran well and won the pot. But usually here in this section people post hands where they have questions about a play or something like that. Do you have a question here?

this is my question - whether I did on the flop? my game is at a distance, if I make these decisions - will be in plus or a minus?

Here I don't see hands JJ+, because opponent limps pre flop. Also I don't see AQ+ because he shouldn't bluff you for all his stack. I don't know if it is a plus or a minus decision. Sometimes opponent has set or flopped two pairs and try to protect his hand - flush draw board. It is huge check/raise and hard decision, but I don't see escape in this hand. I also make a call. If he has two pairs or set, that's tough!

oh yeah! it was really hard to decide! and I was just lucky that I won ... I now it is important to understand - was my decision correct? in a similar situation, I always have to make such decisions, or better to make an easy fold?

The reason why you were quite safe in the hand. It's quite simple your in position.
Just think if it was the other way around and you leaded into the flop and he raised you? ... Now you have a tough spot especially if you raised preflop and he limped.

Now you would've made a bad call and just got lucky... Your play was fine in this sense though I would've 3bet and 3/4 pot size.

You do often see a lot of opponents shoving in this spot with QQ+ but like the guy said above he just limped.. He played his 10s badly and it's all about making money off your opponents errors.
