Top pair hands

[cardsfan04]

I'm not real sure how to play these spots. Is this ok? Turn is my biggest question.

If you don't feel like you're ahead then don't call it down. It's reads based most of the time otherwise just play strong cards. You can definitely get you're money in with a better hand.

that turn is really good for your hand, id bet ~200, I think your getting raised on the flop with a bigger 10 and if you get raised on the turn you are most likely beat

[daomonk]

i play it the same way. see nothing wrong. Most times there would be a better 10 somewhere in there with those flop callers.

Just this time there wasn't

You need to bet pot on flop. That 70 bet is asking for action which you dont want. You also can get a better read on the table with the pot size bet. You'll see people calling with 2 overs when you dont bet strong on the flop in these situations.

Bet 100-120 on flop

turn/river are fine

[Hartlin]

Agreed with others.
