1/2 KK - scary flop?

ThinkQuick · #1 12-22-2006, 06:09 AM

A friend starting out at NL would really appreciate comments from the forum.

Hero has KK in MP, no useful reads
Hero has about $150 and is covered by Villain.

Preflop:
3 limpers, Hero raises to $20, 2 LP callers, 1 EP caller.

Flop (Pot size $85): T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

EP Checks, Hero bets $60, LP1 folds, LP2 Pushes, EP folds, Hero calls (~70 more).

Comments and criticism?

I push this any day, if he has a 10, oh well.
I just couldn't fold here getting 4 to 1.
Plus youve got over half your stack in there, with a good chance youve got the best hand.
If not, take it like a man, and then rebuy.

Well played, it sucks he had a ten.

Whats up with the 20$ raise preflop?

standard pf raise live action with limpers. As played call and call for chips if necessary

If thats standard than its fine, to bad he hit his T...

I much prefer a push on the flop, because we aren't folding to a raise... and if we get called, a $70 bet into a ~$200 pot is the only option left on the turn.

This is mostly unavoidable if he has a ten and played fine.
