I've decided to start posting some micro stakes hands as part of my Micro Challenge series to bring it to the forums and hopefulyl provoke a little discussion

We'll start out with some easy one and then move on to more difficult ones as I move up :f_love:

No Relevant Stats on Villains so all unknown

Poker Stars, $0.25/$0.50 Limit Hold'em Cash, 4 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

Preflop: Hero is BTN with T T
CO raises, Hero 3-bets, SB calls, BB calls, CO caps, Hero calls, SB calls, BB calls

Flop: (16 SB) J 7 9 (4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, CO bets, Hero ???

What's the 3 street line and why?

We can't fold right now. Against unknown I would probably raise here to kick out blinds from the hand. CO doesn't have to have only overpair/set as he capped pre and could just autocbet AK(AQ). In case we are against QQ+, we still have outs for our gutshot/set. So I would call 3bet and probably call blank turn again (we should have odds to call 1BB for gutshot outs), then fold river UI. In case CO just calls our raise I would bet any non AKQ turn and if just called, river as well.
In case any of blinds will come along I would probably slow down on turn and play according to odds/outs.

I do raise the Flop. The thing is that AQ and AK is a big part of his range and if i don't have the read that CO is not going to bet AQ and AK but check those hands, i put these hands in his range and AQ AK are 32 combinations. Hands that dominate his range combowise. 99 JJ QQ KK AA are less combinations and even if he does just bet AK, its ok to raise because ~30% of the time we are ahead and we kick off our opponents equity. some pairs, gutshots etc and if i am behind, i do still have 6 outs to improve with. Knowing he's not betting Ax, you should just call but against someone you have no reads about => Raise > Call. ;)

Unfortunately there was not the contribuation of posts that boomer intended to have. So i told him, i'm gonna evaluate the hand later but it doesn't seem as there is another post coming so its done now. Maybe there is another one who'll be reffering to my post :)

At this point in the hand I (like kenny) actually worry less about what the CO is holding than getting the blinds out. It's a big pot that is best played heads-up.
