[NYWalker]

Legends of Poker $1070 Supermega MTT satellite. 3K chips/20 minute round. 6 seats. (short level due to time pressure)

I moved to this table. No read on villain. Just knowing he's a mid-stakes cash player.

50/100. villain (4000) limps mp. lp limps. I raise the button to 350 with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. villain checked my stack 3000 behind and made the call. lp folds. Flop 762, one spade. villain checks and I check.

Turn J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], villain checks. Hero?

Check And Take The Free Card

whats your plan if he cr's or crai. if the answer is a fold then defenitly check. I on the other hand would have bet 600 on the flop and fold to a reraise. you represented strength pre you have position bet the flop, I would. as played I would make a PSB on the turn and call any reraise. If you check the turn and an A or spade falls on the river will you get called on your river bet problably not get the money in before the river.

If this is a regular MTT, I'd c-bet flop .... or check here if I didnt c-bet flop. Given this is a 20 minute round MTT sats, I bet 600 plannig to take it down there but I would call c/r push. Villain raised to 1600 and I moved allin. villain called and showed KK and it held up.

I'm not sure his slow playing KK to the turn is good here.

[eymon222]

he played his KK weak and would have folded if an A showed up on the board (I bet). Only once in a while do I play AA KK by limping in late position. for me to limp with those hands in early position the table dynamics have to be that I'm confident I will get raised pre so I can 3-bet. If I don't get raised it all depends on the flop as to how I proceed. slow playing those hands for the most part is just not playing optimal poker. I liked your line though.

Any reason for the small pf raise? I think it's actually going to be helpful given...

I think getting raised here is so unlikely that we should fire again, setting us up for a river shove.

i check back on turn. also dont ive results this early if you want a constructive thread. if you had AJ and bet the turn and he c/r you can't feel very good about your hand.

Lol - didn't notice he'd posted results. Obviously, check behind with draw is standard but I think we'll take it down now (unless we're up against a retard limp-calling and then checking twice with JJ+) a lot and it really blows when we hit the river and he check folds 55.

sorry for posting the results too soon.

In that situation - I needed to play it fast. I really thought the KK was retard though he thought he got me by a great slow play.
