That just makes him fold nearly everything.

[/ QUOTE ]Does that really matter? Being 200bb deep and against an unknown you're not winning this pot very often postflop and you're not going to be able to put him on a range of hands because he'd call any 2 that you'd reraise with because of the stacks and he has position.

Wow... You sir are an idiot.

I like a turn check here, and see what happens...

you have to be the biggest nit ever if all you want with KK preflop is take down the blinds/open raises.

Raising so big that the only hand that calls you is the one that is crushing you is ludicrous.

No offense meant but maybe you should brush up on your NL play some.

Also, not sure if this matters or not, but here is where I got most of my stack on this table:

BB was a LAGtard who had lost a medium-sized pot to me last orbit in a blind battle, so I knew there was a high chance he had [censored] here.

Hero had T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (two pair, Queens and Fives) and WON (+$153.50)

The reason I post this is the rest of the table might view me as "unbluffable." It's probably not THAT relevant, but it's better than nothing.
