Another $5/$10 Party hand. My main opponent in this hand (UTG+1) is quite loose, not tremendously aggressive, but has been on a bit of a run.
I'm dealt A /images/graemlins/spade.gif K /images/graemlins/heart.gif in the big blind. UTG+1 limps, and it's folded to me. I raise. UTG 3-bets after limping. I cap.
Flop is T /images/graemlins/spade.gif 6 /images/graemlins/heart.gif K /images/graemlins/spade.gif. I bet, he raises, I 3-bet, he caps.
Another K came on the turn and everything played out how you'd expect it to from there, including a pissy comment or three from UTG+1, who had AA.
The only hands that were ahead of me on the flop were AA and KK. I've seen players limp-reraising on these tables with sh*t. But should I have backed off sooner? I was intending to default into call-down mode on the turn before the K came.
And for that matter, should I have gone for the check-raise on the turn? I thought it was fairly obvious that I had AK or KK and that UTG+1 would have certainly called me down to the end, but perhaps not provided me with the opportunity for the c/r.
