On the button with KTs

[ResidentParanoid]

Loose, LL online table. 8 handed. No particular read on the players.

I have K/forums/images/icons/club.gifT/forums/images/icons/club.gif on button. Everyone calls/completes. Still have 8 players.

Flop is [ T/forums/images/icons/spade.gif, 6/forums/images/icons/heart.gif, 7/forums/images/icons/club.gif ]: Checked to me, I bet, blinds fold, EP1, MP1, MP2, and cutoff call.

Turn is 5/forums/images/icons/spade.gif [ T/forums/images/icons/spade.gif, 6/forums/images/icons/heart.gif, 7/forums/images/icons/club.gif ]: Check, bet by MP1, MP2 calls, CO folds, I raise, EP1 calls 2, everyone else calls 1.

River is 2/forums/images/icons/club.gif 5/forums/images/icons/spade.gif [ T/forums/images/icons/spade.gif, 6/forums/images/icons/heart.gif, 7/forums/images/icons/club.gif ]: Checked around.


Comments? Do you bet the river?

Looks fine to me.

I think you should raise this preflop, you are certainly a favorite to win more than 1 out of 8 pots with this hand. With top pair good Kicker, and no resistance so far, I bet the river.

Every time.

I raise preflop and bet the river.

"With top pair good Kicker, and no resistance so far, I bet the river."

--At the super-passive 1/2 tables, I'd consider MP1's turn bet to be resistance. If he's an "any two sooted" or "any two connected" player, he could have a variety of raggedy two-pairs.

Ugh, do you hear me talking? I just know that this river bet would often be correct, but I couldn't guarantee making it.

I misread the post, I thought that there was no other action except for the bets from the button. Now I think the river bet is thinner, but I would probably do it anyway.

I'd raise it preflop in this position and bet the river. Looks as if the MP missed his flush draw and you took it down.

Board is 2/forums/images/icons/club.gif, 5/forums/images/icons/spade.gif, [T/forums/images/icons/spade.gif , 6/forums/images/icons/heart.gif, 7/forums/images/icons/club.gif]

EP1 has Q/forums/images/icons/heart.gif8/forums/images/icons/club.gif (Q high) , MP1 has J/forums/images/icons/club.gif 6/forums/images/icons/club.gif (pair of 6's), MP2 has 4/forums/images/icons/spade.gif4/forums/images/icons/diamond.gif (pair of 4's)

I think the main criticisms from you folks are what I didn't like about my play here. Raising on the button with so many limpers pre-flop has to be right here.

The turn bet by MP has me wondering, but he didn't hit me back when I raise. River can't have helped anyone and they check to me again. I guess all those straight possibilities have me worried so I check the river. This bunch could call with anything, as you can tell, so a bet is probably correct. I always try to repeat those immortal words at these loose tables: "worse hands will call".
