Title: how to play kings in cash Post by: acc2020 on February 07, 2010, 01:58:05 PM new to cash poker
been doing ok since playing online cash , winning just a small amount. after a 10 hr session last night , i seemed to lose more than i won with pocket kings. I had them over a dozen times and won only twice with them. i not to bothered about losing just my approach with them. If i get them in late position i always raise with them ( 3 times the blind ). Then c bet the flop ( 3/4 of pot ) and then continue betting on later streets unless an ace hits. If theres a raise and a call i will re raise to get all the chips in preflop. I did this over 10 times last night and 8 times the opponent had a single ace which hit the board. The other times they outflopped me either 2 pair or a set (which is fair enough). It seems to me that in low stakes online cash game players are willing to call an all in with an ace regardless of kicker. Is it strategically prudent to re raise all in preflop with kings everytime or should i play them carefully like queens and jacks. I think i have lost more money with aces and kings than any other sort of starting hand , cos i tend to play them super aggressive. With other starting hands i am not as likely to get all the chips in and can seem to get away from dangerous flops. Any advice?

Last night was just bad variance but also a very small sample size. Get them in every time if you know you can and know you will get called and watch your monies grow. gl Title: Re: how to play kings in cash Post by: acc2020 on February 07, 2010, 02:28:56 PM are you saying with jacks or better it is profitable to be all in heads up everytime.
Am i wrong to play cash like tournament survival? i am playing $0.10/0.20 buying in for 100 blinds , even though it is pennys i dont feel comfortable sticking it all in with queens or jacks. Should i ignore my fears and stick it in?

try not to let the results of the hand matter so much Title: Re: how to play kings in cash Post by: SteveSpring on February 14, 2010, 04:21:00 PM At .1/.2 alot of people will be stacking off with alot worse so i would be playing QQ and JJ more aggro
