Im a NL newbie, but I think I can find a fold to this shove. BB 3-bet OOP Pre-flop...to me this is showing great strength.......Big pair to me. King flops and he's not worried. AA? I dont know, but I think I can get away from this.

I am a limit player trying to make the transition and learn the game so take my comments with a grain of salt. I play 2/4 limit and have started donking the NL micros as a precursor to moving from limit to NL.

EDIT: I just did the math and you have no choice but to call after your $30 raise........I think your beat, but you are probably priced into this pot. If my math is right arent u getting 4-1 here?

I think this is unavoidable without a read... to do anything esle you might as well have folded pf.

Since he leaves himself no choice but to call an all in after his $30 raise.....wouldn't it be better to just shove the flop instead of the $30 raise?

Preflop.. meh, I think shoving is not good, 4-betting and fold to a shove neither so I guess this is fine.

You cant fold on the flop, so I think without reads that hes a total nit I play the same.

lol@UTG

What do you put villain on that you beat?

My personal play on this hand would be to reraise preflop. There are 5ish hands you can put him on here. AA/KK/QQ/AK/AQ.

AQ is unlikely because it would probably not reraise preflop. The 4th bet means that if he has AA he will _probably_ push because why let KK have a chacne to catch a K and stack him. KK should push here.

If he pushes with QQ, more power him, stupid though because at best he is in a race, at worst dominated.

AQ would fold to the 4th bet.

I can fold AK preflop to extreme pressure. I would of re-raised to 10 here pf and if I got pushed on I'd have folded. As played you have no idea if you have a dominated hand or not. You have no idea if you are splitting or winning. You have massive RIO. No matter what happens in this hand you WILL learn a lot about the villain tho!
