Boring KK Hand: $1/$2

Big_Jim · #1 10-15-2007, 03:45 AM

BTN is a standard shortstack donkey, he's pushed PF several times already, but hasn't gotten any action.

SB is out to get me. He sucked out on me in a 400BB+ pot and proceeded to talk a bunch of [censored], and then leave the table, like a douchebag. Several minutes later, he joined this table with $100 and has so far called every single one of my PFRs. I've been shutting down on my cbetting vs him, since he loves to play back at me.

SB checks, Hero?

BTN has $29 behind, SB has a little over 100BBs.

That's one option, but I guess I wanted to hear what people had to say about:

a) Checking
b) Betting $14
c) Betting more than $14

Any tricky reason not to make a standard bet here? $18 looks good.

Yeah, I was thinking 14 so BTN can come over the top and we can shove if SB calls.

I can think of a few, but I'll let the thread pan out a bit.

Seems like a pretty easy bet $20 and get it allin with your read. Maybe if BTN had like $32 I'd bet $16 so I could reopen the betting but I'm not willing to only bet $14 here.

betting $29 could get a spite call/raise from sb

I prefer betting 18>14 here as there are allsorts of funky draws SB could have and its worth making him pay that lil bit more for him to make it. With the history between you to I say he'll call 18 if he's gonna call 14 at all.
Button can do what he wants.
