Hold em or Fold em? 1/13/06

Ok, here is the hand that Wolf mentioned in his blog, this was a joint session between the Wolf and I, and I must say, I feel like we both were playing some of the best poker I've played in quite a while.

** Hold em or Fold em?

Wow, this one was tough! After being called on the flop, I really felt as though this guy had a T or mid pair, or KJ. What this hand history doesn't show is just how fast he called my min-raise on the flop. Also, the fact that he bet $250 into a pot of $257 or so made me think that a Q was pretty much out of the question. That ten on the turn was the ugliest imaginable card. I finally decided a call was the correct play, because I felt like the odds of this guy having either a 99 or KJ, or complete nothing were just as likely, if not more likely than of him having a ten. I felt a ten would have thought for a few seconds longer before calling my min raise on the flop, but also, with how much money was already in the pot, I would only have to be right a small percentage of the time to make this the right play.
