10nl: Horrible decision with kk

evil_ronnie · #1 04-21-2007, 09:53 AM

Villain is a 20/14/4.
In the previous round i had reraised him in exactly the same spot so I felt he might have been getting frustrated.

Do you bet out about 2/3 and fold to a raise or shove? Or even c/f?

You can't bet 2/3 pot and fold. The pot is $7.7 so 2/3 pot is ~$5, effective stacks are $9.1 on the turn so his push would be for $4 more and there would be ~$22 in the pot.

You need to bet here to avoid giving free cards as the board is so drawy, I would probably just put button AI now.

Same here, I'm AI here no matter what. You have to bet, because you can't afford to give free cards or get floated. So i just bet, call a shove and pray.

I think I prefer just going AI now because the board is so drawy, and if you bet say $6 then villain will have $3 behind which is bound to go in anyway. Anyone else agree/disagree??

I think shoving would have been the correct line. Results:

Turn: ($7.70) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $5, Button calls $5.

River: ($17.70) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $5, Button calls $4.10 (All-In).

Final Pot: $26.80

Results in white below: 
Hero has Kc Kd (one pair, kings).
Button has Jh 9c (straight, jack high).
Outcome: Button wins $25.90. Hero wins $0.89.
