Apologies if this comes off looking like a bad beat post, I did lose the hand in spite of what I thought was my best effort. I'm trying to get opinions on whether I played this correctly, ideas on different ways of playing this, and, if possible, adjustments for buy-in level.
My cards: KK
My position: 1 seat right of CO
Villian Stack: 1500-ish
Blinds 50-100, 7 people, My stack 3500-ish
Action: 1 EP call, folds to me, I raise to 400, button calls, EP limper folds.
Flop: A K Q all diamonds.
I bet 650
Villian calls
Turn: rag
I ?
FWIW I put him all in.
My thought on the flop was if he re-raised me I could fold, he was pretty aggressive with his good hands. If he was on a draw, I wasn't giving him the right odds to call.
I put him on AQ, Ax(1 diamond). He would have re-raised pf w/ JJ+ or AK, probably folded NE2sooted.
I think I did this right, I'm just checking. I didn't push pf because I didn't think 250 was worth it, was that a mistake?
Would pushing after the flop be better as a standard, instead of just trying to price out draws? Is that level-dependent?
regards
