Very strange hand from Bellagio $2500 vs Tom Schneider and Dutch Boyd

[Annette_15]

I'm def check folding... Toms call preflop is way too strong to even consider stacking off here. He was probably hoping that dutch would still reraise and that way he could get u into the pot or at least get a call out of a hand that might fold if he decides to reraise himself. FWIW, I wouldnt raise KT with that stack at such a strong table UTG but rather look for a spot to reshove on someone.

Excellent posts puerile and annette.

I read this hand in your blog last night and I liked your decision to CRAI flop. You get to see what Tom and Dutch are up to and it works well with stack sizes.

On the turn I believe your feel from Tom is the greatest deciding factor. Was his flop check suspect? If we're assuming that his range is 77-TT and he's betting 77-99, i suspect that it might have been suspect.

I like using words in the same sentence that are spelled the same but pronounced different.

Was dutch shooting an angle here or make an honest mistake?

c/f like every time........and this is a fold pre most of the time btw, as annette said, no point in r/f KTo with 20 bb's utg at a tough table, even short handed. Either of these players can have JJ+ here, and neither will fold on this board and rightly so.

Flop your kind of forced into a check fold.

I don't think i like pre flop. I want like 5 more BB's before i open here on an aggro table.

Preflop is a fold and likely a fold even with much deeper stacks

As played, check, and then fold

you have to think flop is a check/fold unless you flop two pair or better before its dealt, and that flop isnt good enough

Stop complaining about preflop. They are 5 handed, boo-urns

For me, I think I would make a continuation bet of 8,000-12,000 and fold to a shove. This way you can kind of squeeze Tom. I don't think Tom would raise you with Air here. I really think it is unlikely that Dutch has a big pair here. I really see him 3-betting JJ+ 5 handed, even in the situation described.
