Default Re: yay me managed to turn pkt kings into a bluff

[ QUOTE ]
I don't see why the raise is so bad. There was a call of the raise, so my standard would be 4x the original raise, which is 720. A raise to 480 or 540 as some suggested here is horrible imo. I would check this and try to get to the river cheaply. If he checks river I push for value.

I don't like the river push.

As stated you are either way-ahead or way-behind. If we accept that you are probably not getting away from the hand, you shouldn't bet this flop.

If he's got an Ace then he's going to call you. He's not flat calling a raise and a re-raise with A-high only to fold it on this flop.

If he hasn't got an ace, then he's got a pocket pair (which could be a set). Again he's not folding the set (duh), but you've got to check the flop to allow him to bluff the turn or river with KK-JJ.

If he checks it down to the river its hard to see a worse hand calling your river push.
