I flat call the turn to let 10's and overpairs keep betting at me and to lose the minimum if he's got a 9. Do we fold river, or is our hand underrepped to the point where it's a must-call?

Re: 25NL KK against a paired board
 

I think your hand is underrepped. You only need the best hand here 40% of the time to make a call profitable, and with his high aggression numbers--especially for 25NL--I think he's betting with a lot of hands that you beat. I'd call here.

Re: 25NL KK against a paired board
 

Yeah, I call.

Re: 25NL KK against a paired board
 

This one looks pretty ugly. I bet more on this flop. I also bet the turn. As played you've gotta call the river.

Re: 25NL KK against a paired board
 

Im a little tired to run the maths but it looks like your probably behind on the turn.

Did you think about betting out on the turn? I am finding that against some LAGs checking a scary turn is just asking for a bet.

As played I dont hate your turn call but folding would also be fine.

On the river I just fold, although he is LAG only a retard bets JJ, QQ or a T for value here. (Im not saying you wont see those hands betting but they are more likely to check behind on that board)

Re: 25NL KK against a paired board
 

Typo above. Pretty sure you only need to have best hand 30% of the time here.

We are asking for a bet. Betting the turn is bad IMO. I'd be more inclined to bet here with KcKs.

Wtf, Simple? For real? It's 1/3 pot and we have an overpair and we have the second nut flush draw.

The river is a call because a 30/10/4 sponges 55 and Ace high on this board. Also, all OESDs missed.

I think even thats close, I still fold but I can see the argument for the call - its pretty close.

Being OOP SUCKSSS!!!!

I'm not familiar with the term "sponges" Elaborate please? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: 25NL KK against a paired board
 

Yeah, sorry. Sponge is floating. Flat-calling on flop in position with weak or nothing hands to bet turn when checked to you. Nobody really uses it. I hate the word "floating" though.
