ASmith84 · #1 08-19-2006, 06:02 PM

Heres 3 KK hands I played yesterday with very few reads on the players(~30 hands played). I didn't post the results because it might affect how some people view the hands, but I'll possibly post them later. I was just wondering how people here would bet in these situations. I can already say im betting way too low on some parts.. I recently changed over from SNGs so its a different game for me.

I'll try getting the #s on each villain in there in a few minutes.

Hand 1: Raise way more PF. I would probably make it $35

You don't really want to see a flop OOP with so many players.

Post flop looks okay... but with no reads, you might lay it down. Not too many people go for the post-flop squeeze, and you're in a Barely Ahead/Way Behind spot.

Hand 2:Looks standard. Could easily be up against a draw/AQ

Hand 3: Raise more PF, I would make it at least $25, maybe closer to $30. You are giving him huge implied odds to stack you.

Bet closer to pot on the flop. $30-$35

I would usually check the turn, and maybe/maybe not call a bet, depending on sizing and timing.

Hand 4: Your PF cold call kind of defines your hand a bit. I don't dislike it too much (although I would usually re-raise), but just know that it defines your hand as a biggish pair.

On the flop, I would either just call, or push. Min-raising is just so strong, with your hand defined as it is, and if you push, he can put you on a draw. Most hands that would stack off with the min-raise are stacking off to a push, as well.

Hand 1: More pf. Flop action looks fine, we have dead money in the middle from the caller, and we're a little short (FIX THAT!)

Hand 2: Fine, he's short

Hand 3: More pf, more flop, little more on turn. River is fine

Hand 4: Id generally RR pf. Raise a little more on flop
