but looking at it now, I think leading the river was a mistake. And now his raise screams T.
Should I fold this?

I probably call. Your hand is looks weak to villain. It smells like a bluff to me.

call
If he has a 10 and a better kicker, I'm paying him off here.

Not sure I like inducing a bluff with a pair of T's with 9 kicker. I prefer to bet that turn and take it down if possible.

I still call the river. He posted blind and checked preflop so he could have just about any hand. He could have a pair of 5's or 6's.

Yeah, I call too. Since he posted dead the chance increases that he has a kicker you can beat (if he has a T) + you've played your hand fairly meek, so the odds look good enough.

Damn, I missed the fact that he posted blind.

The more I think the more I hate the way I played this hand.
I don't mind checking the turn though. I sometime check TPNK from the blinds.
Doesn't mean I c/r . I simply go into calling mode unless I improve or the board is scary or villain bets too much.
So keeping that in mind, I should have simply check/call the river. Would have kept the pot smaller and made my decision easier.
I don't think many weaker hands call a value bet here.

If I'd notice he posted a dead blind, the call would have been much easier.

Hmm. So you thought he limped right? What hands would he limp with that involve a ten?

Personally I don't mind the x/c on the turn, (betting is a good option too), but considering that you chose to play the turn like that, i think you must call the river-raise.

people love AT, KT hell even JT kills me. And in this levels, they either raise with any crap or limp with it. You just can't tell.

Well, I thought my call was much worse then you guys say it is. So I guess I don't suck Smile
Yeah, my turn play made the river much more complicated. I think the way it was played, I should c/c or bet/fold.
