Sort of in a downswing just now. Certainly not a big deal, certainly not a BIG downswing objectively (decent-sized for me tho..). But I simply must look at my play, anything else would be uncivilized.

villains are unusually loose for party. same passive-tastic thing we've come to know and love. A looser table than normal. BB is 40/4/.2 over 30 hands, button is 80/10/.6 over about 40 hands. Seeing lots more cold-calling than usual here, by the end of hte session i was wondering if I should have been using a different starting hand chart! more players to the flop than usual.

Preflop: Hero is UTG with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $0.25.
Hero raises, 1 fold, UTG+2 calls, 4 folds, Button calls, 1 fold, BB calls.

yawn.
Flop: (9.40 SB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (4 players)
BB bets, Hero raises, UTG+2 calls, Button calls, BB 3-bets, Hero calls, UTG+2 calls, Button calls.

also thought this was standard, but i'm sorta starting to smell a call down here..A 3bet from a passive player and ther rest of the lot not bothered calling my raise? Then again, I do have a BDFD to go along with my monster pair. Oh, and the KK isn't bad either (fnar!)
Fearing the straight here is a bit MUBS, no?

Turn: (10.70 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 players)
BB bets, Hero calls, UTG+2 folds, Button calls.

River: (13.70 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)

Final Pot: 13.70 BB

How do we feel about the call down here? Or should I be more afraid of the flop action given the semi coordinated board?
