Hi guys.
As you can see I have almost no history on anyone so playing readless atm.
Runing like shit as well so cant tell the difference between spew and decent play mainly.Same is with this hand.
I think pf is fine. when he calls my 3b I assign him about this range (assuming hes 4betting QQ+,aK) :

JJ-77, AQs-ATs, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, T9s, 98s, 87s, AQo-ATo

We hit tptk ,but decent part of hes calling range connects with the board as well,mostly draws and nuts , so I asigned him range like this :

TT, 88, AQs, QTs, AcJc, KcJc, Tc9c, 9c8c, 8c7c, AQo-AJo

So due to pot odds we need about 41% equity to make a profitable call.
And also vs hes range our hand has about as much.

MP2 41.76% 30.10% 11.66% AsQd
MP3 58.24% 46.58% 11.66% TT, 88, AQs, QTs, AcJc, KcJc, Tc9c, 9c8c, 8c7c, AQo-AJo

But I am still not convinced that my call here was correct.

So your opinon would be really appreciated.

Cheers

I would fold.

Without knowing much about villain, and being a little deep calling seems a little wishful. He's unlikely to be doing this with air, and his draws all have good equity. All sets T8 and QT are in his range.

Also don't be surprised for players at 5NL to not stack off QQ AK pre and just call in position. People do this with KK in the Zoom pools a lot as well because the AA vs KK comes around so much faster and they start to think only AA is all they can stack off.

Guess I am bit moron for not noticing all of those things nad just click buttons in hope to win some money.

You're not a moron Sharky your just starting out and overvaluing TP a bit. Everyone does it. I still do vs 3 barrels sometimes. Its at NL5 so the lessons come cheap. He could be spazing with air with this huge jam. If he is though he'll keep spazing and you'll get his money pretty soon anyway. So yeah I'd fold here and possibly make a small mistake instead of calling an possibly making a huge one. Take a note on his crazy play and move on.

I believe this is more important than the hand itself. Here's the thing, edges in poker are so small that having a solid mental game is a requirement. Of course, no amount of mindset tricks will help you if you're betting patterns aren't that of a winning player but at the same time, a poor mental game can make a winning player into a losing one. Be careful not to bring yourself down, mistakes happen and even the best players in the world make them routinely so instead of punishing yourself for them (which is basically the worst possible reaction) try to learn something (by posting more hands on the forums etc.). Good luck sir!
