Holding Kings

[matt674]

I don't. Just guessing and making generalisations.

See thats where you have to be careful, i mean most people would look at me and say "he cant be any good".

Oh wait..................darn another trip to monkey A&E to remove yet another bullet from my foot

Phil.

You're a good Gala player.

Would you make his play with a hand that wasn't AA, KK, or QQ?

starting stack = 6k.

Halved by the flop.

Personally I would ONLY make that move with AA... although I'm not keen on the move at all.

The hands I've been paid off with at Gala have been hideous though and when you think of the potential range of hands that the avarage gala player player could have is huge. Without knowing the specific player I would say he could have any hand from 77 up to KQ.

I can say from experienced that I have been limp-rasied with 77... i was pot commited with AQ after my raise and that time and nearly fell out of my seat after annoucing to the table "he's definitely got Aces or Kings". This wasn't at a freezeout admittidly, but it shows the type of player we could be talking about.

[Phil]

A lot of these players also think "it's only £30 so if i lose then who cares?" not "it's a freezeout so I can't put half my stack in".

Did he have blonde hair?

I know who you're guessing at, and if its him - CALL!!!

It was a youngish relatively quiet player. Didn't recognise the face, so probably not a regular. In the first 7 hands, he hadn't made a raise or got himself involved in any pots.

[Bongo]

Did you pass snoops?

[Phil]

I still think that 95% of players raise with QQ, KK or AA here, and I think we can probably rule out QQ and KK here as they are the least likely hand to play with an early position limp. AK wouldn't be played this way either in my opinion.

He's either at it with A7, has a pair 88-QQ or he has Aces. The range of hands is far too big (without having a read on the player) to not call here IMO.

[snoopy1239]

Did you pass snoops?

Yes, I dwelled for ages before passing.

He had aces.

A calling station doubled me up not long after.

I went on to win the comp.

Weird that this one hand could have eliminated me if I'd called.

I'm not saying I folded and now look at me. I accept that sometimes you can make a bad judgement call and then get lucky. I was just wondering if this was one of the times where I did get lucky. Perhaps he could easily have had TT, JJ, QQ, or AK.

Also, I admit that if I suspected aces so adamantly, then I should have passed preflop. I didn't quite realise what a large percentage of my stack the call was costing me. Also, I wasn't 100% preflop, but when he bet the flop I was pretty sure he had theim. His body language suggested aces and he left about 1k behind rather than moving all-in. I think with some of the other hands highlighted on the thread, he'd just move in.

Did he actually show you the two aces or just tell you later?

If i had a banana for every time i told people i had aces when really it was K-Q o/s.....................

Good point.

And good result!

Thought I was on for a win the week before if it wasn't for one bad hand on final and i ended 4th.

I just 'knew'. 

Nah, he showed.

Good to see the Blondeites are fairing well in these comps. I really enjoy them. Just one hand at the start and  I feel like I've got a good chance.

[booder]

nice result snoops.............was i on a % ?

[matt674]

I just 'knew'. 

Nah, he showed.

And when you told everyone you laid down Kings did they all look at you like "yeah right.........."?

[snoopy1239]

I'm sure I could sort u out at the bar.

I didn't tell any1.

I folded KK to an AA limper once at Walsall. When he showed, I told him what I folded and he said,

'If you had kings, then I've only got one ball'.

So if you see anyone walking funny, you'll know he limps with aces.


ps. I don't make a habit of mucking kings. I think that is the only time I've ever passed preflop.
