NL50 KK vs. TAG. Betting is overrated anyways

[Redd]

Small sample size, but I suspect Villain may be a brown trout. Little on the passive side. Do I need to repop 100% here or is the pf call ok? Postflop opinions?

Allin preflop. I cant understand why you checked the flop? Do you credit him for AA or something?

Yeah, I can't really justify pf. But what worse hands are not CBing the flop and calling my bet? I thought AK/AQ are drawing to 3 outs each, so I'll see if I can get a bet on the turn.

I dont like giving free cards ever. If your plan was to get a bet, you got it on the turn - why no raise? Hes got half his stack in the pot at this point, take the rest from him.

Word. I push PF. Given your line postflop, I instapush the turn.

I like reraising preflop--not a big tragedy if you get a smaller PP ot fold. But once you just call, I think you really have to bet the flop. I definitely think worse hands will call (10-10, JJ, QQ in particular) now that the flop is so big. As for AK, AQ, they probably don't call, but they're unlikely to put more money in unless they hit. And AA will put you all in at some point; are you planning on folding?

I suppose there is the argument that by checking you get opponent to think you have AK. I think that would have more merit OOP. Here, an opponent who is thinking about your hand will probably also realize that AK could be betting the flop after he showed weakness by checking.

So I bet flop and get the rest in on the turn.

Redd, pf is fine.

Against an aggro opponent, I might try a small bet on the flop (8-10) hoping to induce a push...

Flop isnt bad at all though, but I push over the turn.

As played, bet the river pretty small that QQ/JJ can call.

[dodgybob]

gimme, reasons for saying pf call is fine?

I push every time in this situation.
