Not sure if the converter is working right b/c this didn't look right in the preview window so bear with me. On the flop he check min raises me (I know Iceman, beware the min raise). Bells did go off in my head at this point but there is no way I'm laying down to a min raise and flat calling and facing a bet on the turn was not an appealing option so I figured I had to raise to define my opponents hand, I thought if he comes back over the top I can get away from it. Problem was once he came back over the top it's $30 more to me and a $90 pot. Can you really get away from this at this point?? Even though I knew I was likely beat the pot is laying 3-1 and he could make this play with 10's-K's. Is there a better way to play this?? This one really has me thinking. Results to follow
