The board is very uncoordinated on this flop. The only real possibilities are 22 or 44, which seem unlikely as he'd probably raise me on the turn with my shown aggression. More likely hands are lower Q's like KQ or QJ. Does this seem like a decent line to call his minraise, then get it all in on the turn? I imagine this allows me to win more when he does have QJ or KQ, than I would if I just reraised all in on the flop. Comments?

i think you played it fine. i assume you were gonna push the turn if he didn't?

[JrJordan]

Okay, just wanted to make sure I'm not too crazy. Guy flips over KK and nails me for my stack on his perfect flop. I guess I never really considered an overpair, but it seems like legitimate way to play against a TAG who will bet the flop on a made or missed hand (of course I'm sure he had no clue and just thought slowplaying KK was fun). Still, with these short stacks I don't think there's any way to get away from it.

Might be weak-tight but I think I might like to fold after the reraise... After all your aggression flop and preflop just seems like whatever he's got he's not scared of a pair or an overpair... Unless he hasn't been playing solidly.

I assume there are many dozens of hands where you stack the guy without comment -- seems like all your hands are ones you get crushed in!

[JrJordan]

I think you got me Wayfare. I'm being pretty results oriented here. If he flips over KQ or QJ here I automatically think "great play" to myself and move on. Let it fall off the front page into oblivion...
