Party 50/1 KK hand

[wizard_1974]

I just played the following KK hand on Party. I had no read on any of the players involved.

I would appreciate comments, particularly on my play on the flop and river. Would you have reraised the flop and raised the river?

I would 3-bet the flop for sure. Other than that, I think you played it ok.

The third diamond on the river is scary, but there's probably an argument to be made for throwing in a raise. Kind of a toughie though.

Definitely 3bet this flop...

On the river i really not too worried about a flush since the flop only contained one /images/graemlins/diamond.gif, most likely has a 8/K and you will chop (not sure UTG would lead the river with only an 8), on the river if you and UTG chop then there is no point to raising as Button won't call unless he can beat you and if you flat call Button might overcall...

I would have 3 bet the flop. It would give more info on what your pponent in holding.

I would have raised the river and called a 3 bet.
