Pocket Queens in Vegas

AWLurch · #1 05-17-2006, 06:25 PM

So I am playing live 1/2 NL holdem $200 Max buy in at the Aladdin Casino in Las Vegas when I come across this hand.

I have been playing relatively tight, but getting hands and making people pay to see them. i.e. opening for 15 and raising limpers for 20 and have been getting paid off. My open for 15 had been getting about 1-2 callers as of late.

Anyway, I am on the button with QQ. I have about 8 limpers in front of me. (Pretty standard for this weak live game at the Aladdin) I raise 20 more and get one caller who was a middle position limper, this player was also relatively new to the table and I had no reads on his play.

(Total Pot: $58)

Two players to the flop and we see:

Ks 6d Kc

He checks, I bet 30, he raises to 70, I call 40 more.

(Total Pot: $198)

Turn is 4 of Diamonds. He pushes all in for 91 more.

(Total Pot: $289 and is $91 to call)

What is your line on this hand?

fold the flop. In games like this you should expect to see Kx and know your hand is weak.

PF, I'd raise more after 8 limpers 25+

Why did the mods move this post from limit forum to no limt, but delete the (constructive) replies? Is this standard?

I don't care in this instance, but it's a disservice becuase:
*the replies maybe correct, and advice is lost
*replies may be wrong, and the responder needs to be warned s/he's dumb

Perhaps responses got lost in the transition. Cool your jets.

If you're not willing to get the rest in on the turn (which you probably shouldn't be), DON't call on the flop.

My jets couldn't be any cooler.

This game isn't hard, if you think you have the best hand, push, if you think you're beat, fold. Calling on the flop was the worst of the 3 options available to you.
