KK in a blind blind battle

[HoldEmNewby]

Hows my line? Folding the flop I thought was too weak. My brain was totally off on that river. I bet small looking for a bluff but thats retarded. My hand is marginal at best. I think river should have been a c/f. Agree?

villain is 36.84/10/2 but that only over 20 hands.

Push over the flop min-raise.

Imrahil,

Could you explain the reasoning behind such a move? I don't see much that calls a reraise on the flop that doesn't have me beat.

Are you gentlemen saying push outright or raise?

Either or. BB has only like ~12 left. I guess you could minraise him back and then get the rest in on the turn if you suffer from FPS.

Villain can have a FD or SD here so you want to make it as expensive as possible to draw so the only raise that's good is a raise to $16 (his stack). He will call with overpairs, A7 probably, FDs and SDs.

Because its a blind blind battle our hand is obviously under represented, so we aren't worried about being behind?

Imrahil,

Thanks, yeah that sounds about right.

Usually they like to get cute with a 5 and wouldn't raise even with the flush draw there... but they will raise the flush draw, donkeys are so strange.. I'd reraise flop, if he's got a 5 he gets my stack.. he could easily have something like 8's or 9's too.
