KK...a thought process in the heat of battle.

[KitCloudkicker]

I'm playing 5/10 full waiting for a seat to open in the 10. table is mostly LP.

unknown limps UTG, I raise black KK UTG+1. 3 callers, and the UTG limper now 3 bets confidently. I'm not sure what this means but AA is likely. Nonetheless, I cap for the following reasons

1) if UTG doesn't have AA, not capping is a huge mistake
2) with all those people in, even if UTG has AA, capping is NOT a huge mistake imo

so here we go, everyone calls. 5 to the flop.

Flop is 973 rainbow. UTG leads quickly.

I dont think raising now is good. Consider:

1) Raising now offers all draws odds to call.
2) I may be behind to AA.

I call. My plan is to raise any turn card and take a free showdown from UTG if offered.

Turn black 8. UTG leads. I raise. An MP cold caller 3 bets. The button calls 3 bets cold. Others, including UTG, fold. I fold, for I cant see MP having anything other than JT, 65, or a set.

Dissect with extreme prejudice. what im curious about is:

1) who raises the flop?
2) who calls down the turn 3?



(note: I actually think now that the flop was rainbow. edited)
