Comm 40: KK vs Gabe and a donk

[Gabe]

When you told me you had posted the hand, I knew mike would get it right.

I also thought that Chris might over think it.

With the bad players (the “thank you dealer” guy, a more or less maniac, and some loose guys still to act) both you and I were playing very straight-forwardly. Preflop, I was thinking about just calling the 3-bet, and maybe trying to mimic the semi-bluff from the other hand, but the bad player called. I would have a really hard time putting you on AQ, the way the game was playing, and I think you would have probably raised the flop with a set, for sure the turn, after the other player called the flop. When the river paired, the one I was worried about was the bad player, and my eyes went to him. I was pissed when Ted said “Pocket Aces” before the bad guy acted, because when the river hit, it seemed like it didn’t affect the guy one way or the other. You said you think he had a draw, though, right?

That's the first thing I thought of reading this hand, is what about the 3rd guy. His presence in the hand is another parameter leaning towards a fold for Shawn on the river.

I also don't quite agree with his view that he must call the river if he calls the turn. There's the matter of the queen on the river, but even without, there are a lot of players who will make a continuation bet on the turn but then reoutinely quit on the river. Not saying you're in that category, but there are a lot of times one should call on the river but can comfortably fold to a river bet.

Good seeing you both yesterday.

Wait a second. You used to have a beard, right?

[andyfox]

Now you got it. I sweat better beardless, no?

[Gabe]

You don't deserve anyone sweating you to victory given your personal grim reaper like track record as a sweater.
