Title: Re: KK on a AAQ flop... Post by: Longy on May 10, 2007, 11:39:30 AM I flat call and re-evaluate on the turn. Few players will lead with an ace here (tho imo it is correct to do so) but by flat calling it achieves a few things. It doesn't blow hands like kq,qj etc off the hand when we make get a value bet in on later streets. It keeps the pot smaller and are options open if we are beat.
Title: Re: KK on a AAQ flop... Post by: kinboshi on May 10, 2007, 12:21:30 PM I did call.
Then he checked the turn. That also confused me. So I checked too. Then he made a 3200 bet on the river. I called. He had A9. Didn't lose too much all things considered, could have been worse. He was truly awful throughout the tournament though, and this helped him here. I really had no clue as to what he had, and I'm not sure he did either. Later he called a big bet with 88 on a AKx board, and outdrew AK with his 8 on the river (not against me), citing 'pot odds' as his reason... It just got me thinking as to the best way to play KK on that board - how scared of an ace should I be, if I think I'm ahead do I lead out or raise to a bet? Or do I just look to minimise losses and move on? |
