Default Example Hands: Full House

Simple thread, you are at a table with the following scenario.
State what you would do so that it might help other people if they ever end up in a similar situation.

------

Background:

You are big blind and as such out of position. You also have a small stack.
You have a 10 and an 8 in your pocket.
You've got to the river and put a lot of chips into the pot. It's rewards are large.

The only problem is the middle looks like this;

10-4-Q-10-Q

And your opponent has just re-raised your latest raise.

-------

Question:
Do you press on with the 10's full of Queens or concede defeat to the Q's full of 10's

Again it would depend, But this time, more on his previous actions. ..

Example, Did he bet on the flop when the Queen came out?

I would not re raise him, But I would most likely call, Unless something about his play made me think he had a Queen.. More than likely, he missed his Str8 or Flush and is trying to steal. lol

yips i would call, this hand is to good to give up, and because you are short stacked you can't for another good hand.

perhaps it would even be better to put all the pressure on him and go all-in.

i agree with all of that, but reading the play like matador suggested would be your best bet.If you get beaten by a b etter han put it down to experience. You can also read how they play from other hands

do or die time here imo , go all in since your stack is low and he could have a 10 with a lower kicker.

looking at when he threw his bets is not always a sign on how his cards look like , personally I try to cover up my cards by betting at random moments or moments when a decent card drops but lower than what I have on hands , reversely it can also be used to help you bluff.

anyway I would go for the all in here.
