Not going to defend my play at all, i believe i played it badly but my table image was pretty tight and fwiw the villain in the hand had shown he was capable of calling a raise and folding to a bet previously.

Re: yay me managed to turn pkt kings into a bluff
There´s not much you can do here.
You reraised an early-position-raiser preflop and Villain called you. That probably means that he has a PP (like 99-QQ). If he had AA/AK he certainly would have reraised you for isolation. So maybe he has AQs, but unless Villain is a complete donk there are not much more unpaired hands that I could imagine. Said this you are either way ahead (against a smaller PP) or way behind (against AQ). Check-fold is definitely too weak here. The pot has 1,710, your remaining stack is 1,405. Imho you´re committed anyway and destined to lose your stack is Villain has an A. On the other hand you don´t want to lose Villain when he holds something like QQ for example. So I made a "normal" contibet of about 700 and called a push. By the way - you had UTG in a nice squeeze position, so the only way to prevent this situation would have been to reraise less pf, say making it 450. UTG would have been a hard decision and if he folded and Villain had called, you would have had a manageable pot with position. While writing this I even come to the conclusion that the push is just not that bad (what was the buy-in?) as this massive bet could lead Villain with QQ to the conclusion that you have no Ace ... in the lowest stakes this might not function but in the middle/higher stakes it could even be a valid line.

Thanks for your considered reply tackleberry.
The buy in was $20 fo/ about 100 runners At the time with the way it played out i honestly didnt see what else i could do. Cheers |
