This is from the FT Double Deuce -about 400/16,000 left. I won a nice pot about 5 hands before this to go to about 40bbs. The utg opener was 23/20/7-3bet, and folded to 1/6 3bets in 102 hands. He was opening a wide 30% fr ep. This guy didn't fold to 3 bets often and I saw he was opening with a wide range but I didn't feel quite comfortable with a value 3bet. And I also thought my TT would be way behind his 4 bet shoving range at 37bbs, so I just flatted. I also thought my flat of his cbet would may concern him if he didn't have an A.
I wasn't sure what to make of his turn sizing or wether he was capable of double barreling without an A.

If you were ahead on the flop then you're still ahead now (pocket 2's aside etc)….. It's a dry board….. He did raise from UTG, so AK is certainly a possibility…… (87) is in his range as well, so he could be on the straight draw and ur blocking that with the 2 Tens.
I'd be inclined to call and evaluate on the river.

That bet sizing is a pattern tell – usually when people make their bet sizes i increase incrementally like that it indicates a good hand. Usually, though …
I like your line as explained Preflop. You are in Position with a disguised strength hand. You call the flop as based on his PF opening range of 30% which includes a lot of aces but also a lot of broadways, suited connectors and one gappers as well as pairs. So I am fine with that as well and its a dry flop. The turn decision is harder because it means you will by then be puttinh 1/4 of your stack and you need to be ready to call a river bet of at least 20000, which will leave you with 20 bbs if you were wrong, or without a showdown if he shoves.
you didnt comment on post flop reads from the villain so I assume you didnt have any or hadn't seen him be very active.
I am folding and looking for a better spot with 37 bbs
There were a few much weaker post flop players than him that got thru in this huge field. I folded the turn, partially for that reason.
Plus, I wasn't quite sure if he was capable of another barrel without holding an A. And that turn sizing, just a hair under half pot – didn't seem like the type of sizing designed to drive me out of the pot.

i like your line pre too.
I agree that u have an ace in your range and if he is not an idiot he must know that. i wouln't risk and fold the turn. u would have to posses some more info on him to call that imo.

Hmmmm….I think this type of guy is miserable to play against. He is certainly on the aggressive side so it looks like he is capable of barreling a lot. I agree that I don't like the 3bet pre-flop, but for a completely different reason. He is a pretty wide opener and there are a lot of overcards in his range which I think makes our TT vulnerable here so the last thing I want to do is play a bloated plot with him, expecting to see a lot of bets coming my way. I think this is just a lousy spot overall. I agree with floating the flop to see what he does as if he checks the turn I think the door is open to steal the pot. Him continuing with barreling away at us, I fold and move to the next hand. you have taken some damage, but nothing terminal yet.
