What does KK and AK have in common?

[insert witty answer]

Hand 1

In this hand I thought to myself that I would just call down to the river, unless there was another 2bet on the turn or river, or if another diamond came on. I thought it'd be very unlikely that someone hit the flush on the flop.

Hand 2

I knew someone was drawing to something on the flop, just couldn't figure out what exactly. But I'm not laying this hand down. But when that dangerous card came on the turn I figured I'd just call down.

[OziBattler]

aussie no like the hand 2 turn check

[Landonfan]

b/f the turn in hand #2.

[Smurph64]

Hand 1 fold or 3 bet flop don't call.

Hand 2 is fine without read.

[B2_eBoogaloo]

Julio,

You really need to give us reads. Or at least give us some idea of who you're playing.

[Xylocain]

Both have K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] what do I win?

Now hand 1; please 3-bet flop.

Hand 2; I dont even know what happened on the turn, did MP3 tell you he had a 5?

[jeanbaptiste36]

Grunch

Hand 1:
Fold flop, a bet and a raise to you on a monotone board.

Hand 2: Turn is not a particularly dangerous card. bet/bet/bet.

[Bulletproof Monk]

hand 1 is fine

hand 2 bet the turn for value

Yeah. Dont ever fold the flop. Good Lord!!

Call flop and raise safe turn. Or call flop and call down non diamond

hand 2 bet the turn for value

Agreed. Whether you bet/fold or bet/call matters less as long as you bet. You have way more than 67% eq when you get called. Even if you made the wrong decision vs a raise its better to bet.
