I thought this was fairly straightforward
Hand from today. I thought this was fairly straightforward, and would probably play it again the same way. But after the hand, a player that I consider to be good actually said that I played this hand very horribly. I went back and forth with him about it in the chat, and ultimately, he asked me to post it. Would like to hear if you thought I played this well.
5-10 6-max. The important opponent in this hand (BB) has about 1600 to start the hand and I cover. Two limps, cutoff raises to 55. I reraise to 155 from the button with pocket kings. Small blind folds. Big blind reraises to 500. Everyone folds to me. I call. 1080 in the pot. Flop is 9 high and uncoordinated. He moves all in for about 1100. I fold.
The player that told me that I butchered the hand said that "nothing changed" with the flop. If my hand was ahead - and calling the 500 was OK, then it was still ahead on the flop. He contends that I should have either played for all of my chips or folded to the flop reraise.
I disagree. I think that while aces is a possiblity for him (after all, he did put in a third raise), I do not have enough information to assume that and fold over his hand range. But when I get the additional bit of information of him moving all-in on the flop, then I am convinced enough that he has aces that I can fold.
I didn't think this was a particularly interesting hand, but the player that I was arguing with asked me to post it and see what you all thought.
