Playing Live 1-1, 9 handed.
Table has been running a couple of hours, generally pretty loose-passive pre-flop, lots of limping. Post flop play has been straight forward from everyone, nothing fancy.
Me - UTG (£160) I have not been nitty, limping along when in position with speculative hands, raising big hands, but playing tight in early position (if anyone is paying attention)
Villain 1- HJ (£80). Not been at the table long, not seen him do anything of note.
Villain 2 - BTN (£110). Been at the table from the start. Plays a wide range pre-flop and quite tight/straight forward after the flop. I won a decent size pot earlier in the night from him when I raised the button pre with 33, checked back the A-T-5 flop, then turned a set against his flopped top two pair.
The hand:
I get dealt KK UTG and make it £4. I have made it 6 pre-flop several times at the table, but every time it has been folded around, so i make it 4 this time.
Called by Villain 1 (HJ) and Villain 2 (BTN)
Flop (£14)
My plan from here on is to bet-bet-bet any non-Ace and non-four card straight on the flop and turn, then maybe evaluate the river.
I bet £9, Villain 1 calls, Villain 2 raises to £18.
Now i'm pretty happy i'm ahead of Villain 1, but would like some input on what range we would give a passive opponent min-raising on this flop, and how to proceed.
Hands we're behind that he would probably play this way that are in his range - Any set and any combo of 5-7.
I think he would have re-raised QQ pre, and maybe JJ some of the time, and would have called 10-10 and 9-9.
How often is he raising pair&gutshot draws? Overpairs?
I admit i was unsure how to play the hand from this point.
Hero???
All opinions welcome.
