25 NL KK, A flops

Kazimyrch · #1 08-02-2007, 08:08 PM

I have KK, I have raised a lot the last couple of orbits. No specific reads on villain. His flop bet is so small I don't consider folding, but should I have raised in this spot. It seems quite tricky in a 3 man pot. Heads up I would have raised, but here it seemed -EV to me. The turn is an A again. Not a bad card, but villain bets quite large. I decide to fold and villain tells me he had 77. How could I have played this hand better? Somehow I just don't play KK aggressive enough, certainly when an A flops I slow down. Any tips?

I'd raise his flop bet in this situation.

Pretty much nails it here. If villain folds, obviously he didn't have an A. If he comes back over the top, he does.

If he calls it gets trickier...But as played, you want to reraise this flop everytime against a single opponent.

his flop bet is so weak that you pretty much have to raise. if he reraises then you fold. if he calls then you reeval on turn. if he folds then you werent getting much value out of him anyway.
