I usually limp TT early, but raising isn't such a bad thing, as played on the flop is fine, you're only up against 1 opponent, if they raise here then you have to fold. The rest is good, nh

You raised to 7 BB? Is that your standard raise? If it is I think you should start betting less. If it isn't I think you should raise the usuall amount even with TT.
I wouldn't raise from UTG. I would have limped and played for set value here. Raising is not a big mistake, though. Other than this lucky turn and NH.

Hi all,

Raise preflop to 3-4BB max. As played bet a bit more on the flop (something like 160-170 is best)

As played turn/river look fine.
