Live $1/$2 KK in the SB

[craigruby]

$1/$2 NL live in NYC, full table. UTG just sat down 5 minutes ago and I know nothing about him (mid 40's, Barry Bonds jersey, Atlanta Braves hat, and sunglasses..I hope this is not someone's father). UTG + 1 is a maniac who plays any 2 cards and sees 90% of the flops. UTG +2 is solid.

UTG $150
UTG + 1 $700
UTG + 2 $500
Hero $750

Limped around to me and I have K

Flop is T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I lead out and bet $100 and get 3 callers (Bonds has $10 left).

Turn is the 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and I throw on the brakes. Here's where it gets tricky. Bonds bets all-in for his last $10 and is called by the other 2. I can't fold for $10, so that's not an option. And I think if I raise I am just leaving myself wide open to a re-raise that I would be in bad shape against. So I call.

I check, and it is checked around.

How else could I have played this? Any suggestions welcomed.

I think you played it fine. Hopefully you have the best hand, but if you don't I think you got away as cheap as possible.

I think I bump it to 200 and fold to a push... I'm not sure how this particular game plays, but from what I've seen of other live games, people will be sticking around with AT, KT, JJ here very very often.

[TurdFerguson]

Wow, was $25 the standard PFR at this $1/$2 table? Yikes.

Other than that, standard.

Craig,

You played it perfectly. Nice hand, hope it held up.

You realize you couldn't raise the turn once the other guy (with a stack) called the all-in, right?

Otherwise, looks fine.

Looks ok, you probaly got beat by something soooted though.

Depending on players, you can raise turn if the two who are not all in will call with worse hands, and you don't think they would slow play a flush. Maybe win a side pot if the all-in has you beat with the flush.

I think I'd make a bet on the turn, because you have told me some crazy stories about these games. I think its ok though.

[PokerFink]

I cannot stress this enough:

Raising the turn here would be awful.

You're deep. You have one pair. And the pot is protected by a player who could easily have you beat.

Value bet river anyone?
