KK - am I doing anything differenly here?

[martybonus]

Sort of in a downswing just now. Certainly not a big deal, certainly not a BIG downswing objectively (decent-sized for me tho..). But I simply must look at my play, anything else would be uncivilized.

villains are unusually loose for party. same passive-tastic thing we've come to know and love. A looser table than normal. BB is 40/4/.2 over 30 hands, button is 80/10/.6 over about 40 hands. Seeing lots more cold-calling than usual here, by the end of hte session i was wondering if I should have been using a different starting hand chart! more players to the flop than usual.

also thought this was standard, but i'm sorta starting to smell a call down here..A 3bet from a passive player and ther rest of the lot not bothered calling my raise? Then again, I do have a BDFD to go along with my monster pair. Oh, and the KK isn't bad either (fnar!)
Fearing the straight here is a bit MUBS, no?

Turn: (10.70 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>

River: (13.70 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

Final Pot: 13.70 BB

How do we feel about the call down here? Or should I be more afraid of the flop action given the semi coordinated board?

Cap the flop and then raise the turn. If you get 3-bet on the turn, especially cuz an overcard fell, then you can be pretty sure that you are beaten. Then decide whether your are drawing to beat their 2-pr or set, or drawing dead to their strt.

THis may not be the best approach, but I think 99-AA would three bet the flop (as might Ax[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]s, and you are good vs. all but Aces there.

I predict that villain rivered a set w. his TT, and you are wondering if you should hvae gone to war, in an attempt to drive him out of the hand?

crying call. You have an overpair.

[Absolution]

Calling the river is probalby -EV against this guy, but everybody does it an I usually do as well. I would call the flop and turn hoping the board pairs or I hit my set though. Against a more aggressive opponent this would be an easy call down.

[tyler_cracker]

i play this the same, though capping the flop can't be too bad, especially since we hold the K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. i guess we should fold if we cap the flop and then bb c/r the river, though.

[resboard]

I personally cap the flop. If the turn is a scare card for us, he may try for a check raise and we can check through. If its not a scare card I will try bet if he checks and raise if he bets and fold to a check raise or reraise.
