What do you think about the way I played this hand?

Pre I'd probably just call because if someone calls your large squeeze, having 1010 in a 3-bet pot with a super low SPR isn't that great. We also get greater implied odds if we hit our set, and we're almost closing the action. You're pretty much turning 1010 into a bluff here. I don't think a lot of worse hands are calling your 3-bet, and a better hand is never folding. You might even get shoved on by a worse hand like AK, and I don't think you're 3-bet/calling off here. Squeezing 1010 is pretty much the same thing as squeezing 22-99 here.

He's not really repping anything, but at the same time I don't think he's bluffing 300bb deep. I'd probably fold to the flop c-bet, especially with no reads.

Definitely fold the river. Probably earlier as well.
You only beat a pure bluff at this point. His cold-call/4-bet is a little weird, but not that much out of line for an AA/KK-screwplay and not even for any pocket pair or AK if villain thinks you might fold to a 4-bet. Which you probably should have done, even.

You don't beat 44/77/88/JJ+ and AK got there on the river as well. You're basically hoping he spazzed out and barreled three streets on a bluff, or with a weak made hand like 99 (that should have checked behind on the river).


Don't stack off for almost 300bb with second pair!

With 3 people in the pot all with position on you call pre. By squeezing with so many you're pushing out too many bluffing hands and strengthening villains calling range. That said I'm folding to that 4 bet from the button pre. With his raise in this spot you're almost always way behind.

Even if he's nitty, he's doing this with QQ+/AK. We have blockers for AA and KK, so that's only 3 combos each (and we can outflop KK), we chop with 9 combos of AK, and we flip against 6 combos of QQ.
Basically, with AK we have 40% equity vs that range. We can't give that up by folding to a 4-bet!

Who's got AK? I'm seeing pocket 10's...

Whoops, was confusing with this thread.

Let's blame it on my kids distracting me.
And on OP not using a converter.
