Two Plus Two Newer Archives - View Single Post - couple wierd KK lines in Sunday Mil, + standard? AK hand

kemystery · #1 05-10-2007, 08:13 PM

Went bust early last couple of sundays, so tried to keep the pots smaller with these KK hands or at least isolate preflop if I had to play big pots. Would love to hear any comments

couldn't read him very well on this hand my thought was QJ, but I fired the blocker out fairly quickly because his play didn't seem like some Ace trolling along, and I didn't want to let him bluff me - but in retrospect if I didn't read him for the Ace I should have given him a chance to bluff

was very surprised on this hand, I almost went for a limp reraise/shove pre here, and instead thought I would make more on the hand flatcalling

 villain had AA

5. villain in this hand is LeeNelsonP*, co-author of the Kill-Phil tourney book, which I'm familiar with which advocates a lot of all in moves and plays preflop.

Anyways after seeing him call all in w/ 77 and 66 for significant amounts and spiking a 7 vs. JJ for his whole stack, I felt he might call again with a small pair, but is 88 too small to make this move with?

6. New table change, played 1 orbit I was unsure of whether a 3-bet was the better play, but MP1 is pot committed here right? I ended up shoving because it seemed like the default play - standard?
