This hand was an interesting one which played out at my local live event this week, and is still on my mind to an extent, mainly because I never found out for certain if my read was correct.
The hand began with myself being dealt (10c,3d) in the small blind. Two other players flat called as the action went round, and I felt there was value in flat calling and taking a flop. The big blind checked, and the flop came down (10,4,10). The action was checked round to me, and I felt as though I should perhaps check too, as there was a reasonable chance an overcard to a 4 would fall and make someone top two pair. An 8 came off on the turn, and the second player to act bet out small (200). I then reraised to 700, and after the other players had folded, my opponent thought for a while before making a large reraise to 2,500.

PLAY NOW

This is a difficult position to be in, as I have only played with this player once or twice before and do not have a concrete feeling about the way he plays. Could he have been slow playing a bigger ten? Against three other players it would seem unlikely, but the board was not in the slightest bit dangerous to a hand like (K,10).
When it came down to it I decided to fold because if I called his bet on the turn, you could guarantee I would have to call for the rest of my chips on the river. I strongly feel that he did have a bigger ten, and if that were the case, I certainly didn’t have many outs on the river.

When I asked him what he had later on after the game, he said (K,K). The fact was though by my judgement, he had to be lying to try and convince me I had read him wrongly. Players simply don’t play (K,K) in the way he played that hand.
