haha I'm just busting your balls. I get my balls busted in here SO often that the few times I get to do it, I need to be on it like Lindsay Lohan on an opportunity to act like a coke whore.

4-betting the turn with Kx against a decent opponent on a KKTT board is a really bad idea (it's not all that -ev so it's hardly worth discussing, but it can't possibly be +ev). OP's line is perfect.

This hand was pure ownage. my loins are still aching after watching this hand.

(ps. I think you played it perfectly despite our discussion about the river afterwards.)

The way jkam is describing this hand, it sure seems like villain had TT (why else would it be loin-aching ownage?). If so, I strongly disagree with the assessment that he is a decent player. His flop play is pretty awful.

Yeah, I agree. (He had quads, btw, if any of you guys haven't figured it out yet.) I said to him "I could never put you on quads when you C/R'd the flop." He said "Yeah, I know, that's why I did it."

The thing is, I only paid him off because of the K turning. He would have lost serious money if the turn and river blanked off and I didn't hit one of my two "outs."

He seems to have FPS, and yeah, is probably not as good as I thought.

I certainly think that any line that throws people completely for a loop is pretty expert. Mind you maybe we're being too results oriented on the flop play.

I talked with villian after this hand. First off there were a few things that went unsaid. He's a regular 40 player and this is a time pot.

He said "I raised the flop because most opponents if they're going to call one on the flop, they're going to call two." I mentioned the only other line I could imagine which would be c/c flop donk turn. He said he thought about that but the pot was already big, and the cold callers could have a variety of AQ/QJ/J9 type hands not to mention the case king and he didn't want to check raise the turn to shut them out.

I personally like the way he played the hand. He managed to disguise his monster hand as well as get max bets on every st.

He only got those bets because Hero was unlucky enough to hit a 2-outer on the turn to catch up to a second best hand that ostensibly counterfeitted trip Ts.

If the turn isn't a K, hero only pays 1BB on both the turn and river. If villain had bet/3-bet the flop, he gets at least one more SB in (if the limpers still fold) but probably 3-4 more SBs in when they peel.

This is only an 'expert' line in hindsight given the money card on the turn. Yes, I agree that if you know the K is coming on the turn, you should checkraise this flop to blow away the field.
