It was 10 reg speed match on pokerstars.I had loose agressive image pre flop and also I was c-betting almost every flop.Villain was pretty loose pre-flop min raising 90% of buttons and calling me oop with any two and weak tight post-flop.It was my second 3-bet in the match and he call me again.On the flop I feel like I need to protect my hand cause flush or hand like a J10 but at the same time I feel that I am turning my hand into bluff...How to play this hand correct?Sorry for my englishNo Limit Holdem Tournament

Why do you think you're turning your hand into a bluff? It's a very clear value betting spot with your hand, and you should be excited to get the money in here.
Check out my blog (Updated 4/10) and my coaching page!
Your hand was played perfectly...there are very few hands that currently beat your hand, and the way you describe your opponent he will be calling with a very wide range on the flop after his flop raise.Assuming he doesn't have a straight, you are a huge favorite over his hand. You definitely want to get the money in here. Even against the worst possible non-straight hand he can hold (AhJh), you are still a 60-40 favorite.You want to get the money in now, before a horrible card comes on the turn that might make Villain reconsider and fold. If he is holding, for example, KT, then an Ace, Jack, Queen, or a Seven on the turn could possibly kill your action.If you push and he folds, be happy taking down the already-large pot.You don't want to simply flat call and see a bad card for your own hand on the turn. Get it in now while you are killing his range.And don't apologize for your English...it's just fine! Everyone here understands we have participants from around the world. I have visited the Philippines and most Filipinos can speak some degree of English, many very well for it being their second, third, or even fourth language. Yet many of them are embarrassed to speak English. I always tell them that they know English MUCH better than i know Tagalog (their national language). Until recently, I knew very little Tagalog, but I purchased a very helpful language software that is helping me learn.
Thank you guys!I thought that majority of the worse hands (like a one or two pairs) just fold there after my shove...And how to play that board with hand like a 10 9 (without my 3-bet pe-flop)?I bet a flop,he re-raise and than?
For your T9x flop example, I think I would be prone to make a smallish 3B, encouraging a call. As you have described this opponent, there is no guarantee that he will continue betting if you flat call and I think you have more of a chance to get his whole stack with a 3B on the flop.Again, scare cards could come on the turn that freeze his action.
was pretty hard for me to read the hand :(... the converter kind of sucks.you played perfect the hand

Check out the HH converter instructions, it should display as it does in the thread if you follow the instructions (IE users may need to use the 2nd option instead of the HTML option).
