Hi,
I'm playing in a 10-20 holdem game and I've been in high gear in the last 20 min (I've had good cards basically). I'm UTG+1 and pick up KsKh. UTG folds, I raise, only the CO calls. 2 players, 5.5 SB in the pot. BTW, I don't really know the player since I also sat down 20 min ago, but he looks typical or weaker.
The flop comes AcTc5h. I bet, my opponent calls.
The turn is the Kd. I check, he bets, I raise, he reraises, I reraise, he calls.
The river is a beautiful 5c. I bet, he raises. Now what?
I'm thinking, he could have slowplayed aces, or he has a set of Ts or quad 5s. He could also have a hand like A5s but the typical opponent does not three bet the turn with Aces up with an AK on the board. I must rule out a flush unless he's completely on another planet after the action on the turn.
So, the way I see it, I lose to pocket 5s and AA. I win vs TT. There's really no logical hand he can have after the turn action. So I should only call. But he could be overplaying a hand since I've been raising much too often since I sat down.
I will agree that these hands do not make a significant difference in the long run, I'm just trying to get better at getting in my opponents heads
