Default 5: More awesome times in Barrylyndon Land

I lost. But, how did I play it:
Blinds 20/40
MP (4000)
Hero, CO (3000)

Only ones in hand.


MPfuckface limps, Hero with KcAc raises to 140, MPfuckface calls.

Flop: Kd 9c 3s

MP checks, Hero bets 240, MP raises to 940, Hero calls (because I don't want to blow him off a weak K this deep, but I do intend on getting it in on non Q/J turn.

Turn: 8c
MPFuckface checks, Hero bets 800, MP calls
(not really worried about much, want to lure him in.

River: 10s
MP goes all in, Hero calls.

MP shows K9.

Pwned?

EDITED: Jesus, you guys are ruthless. I don't have a handcoverter, I did it out of memory while playing, sorry!

I'd be making it like 200 PF because of stack depth (not that it would have mattered, but still.) I also would have shoved the turn, which would have mattered just as much. I'm usually just 3bet shoving the flop here against a villain of this quality, but the board is so dry that I agree with the call. Here's the thing, if he's limp/calling with K9 in early MP, then he'll stack off with KQ-KT here, so there's not much you can do.

Thanks, that's basically what I wanted to confirm.

LOL,props for headline,that's quality!

I bet exactly what you did pre,exactly what you did on flop. I shove the turn though,and that would of course have mattered a lot in this situation.....

On the river I would actually suspect I was beat. Oh,don't get me wrong,I'd snapcall,but for the first time in the hand I'd be a little worried.

Meh,what can you do

Please to be answering my OPs with substance considering that, although I put a little humour and sarcasm in my responses, I give content and pretty good advice in my posts. If this question seems simple to you, then that's fine, I thought I could have played the turn differently and put some focus on deep stacks a little better. Thanks.

Barry

Yeh, I'd agree with one of the posters that given the deepness of the stacks envolved in respect to these blinds your initial raise is too small or two big. The expected implied odds you are giving [censored] are pretty good if he hits two pair or flops trips or something. He can get you to stack off, especially if you hold something like AA or AK and don't improve thru the hand. I wouldn't choose the K9 to do what he did but I might cold call with 89s or 66, just to see if the flop brings something to me that would allow me a chance at your whole stack.
I hate playing the big hands online for even 4-5bb PF. I get callers and I know I'm better going in but you're up against these creeps a lot and they will hit now and then.
Guess that's where the money comes from tho,
cheers

I thought your pf raise was a ;ittle light once there was a caller. I definitely think we can extract more out of him when he's shown a willingness to enter the pot. I make it 180-200 but that is a tiny issue.

Flop: I agree with bet, and although I want 3-bet push (I think he's calling most of the time) I fully understand te call on such a harmless looking flop.

Turn: I definitely push here. I now want all chips in. I'm happy to take the pot now as you're already thinking about what can slow you down and he put 940 in voluntarily on the flop. I want to bet more now and that means I'm committed to the shove.

I call the turn as played. I just know when I do I've let the hand go on too long.
