Heya all. First post here and looking for some general feedback on my play here. I was slowplaying this hand, something I typically hate, but I had a tight table image (feared just stealing the blinds as I had done a few times with good hands) and was hoping to suck out some money.
Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t60 (8 handed)
UTG+1 (t1065)
MP1 (t870)
MP2 (t2390)
Hero (t980)
Button (t2480)
SB (t905)
BB (t780)
UTG (t530)
Preflop: Hero is CO with K/images/graemlins/spade.gif, K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls t60, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, Hero raises to t120, Button folds, SB folds, BB calls t60, UTG+1 calls t60.
For a true slow play, I would have called here, but I still thought the min raise would show some weakness.
Flop: (t390) 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, K/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(3 players) </font>
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, Hero checks.
Great looking flop for me, maybe I'll find a sucker.
Turn: (t390) 3/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(3 players) </font>
BB checks, UTG+1 bets t60, Hero raises to t120, BB folds, UTG+1 raises to t180, Hero calls t60.
Wow, I pretty much just flopped the nuts and I'm bet into. I pretty sure I'm thinking wrong here, but I don't put him on any real hand here. I have a real tight table image at this point and layed down on a few min bets up to this point in the SNG. As far as a read on him, he wasn't overly tight or loose, fairly normal player that I didn't have a great read on. I give him a min raise to get a feel if he has anything. He calls.
River: (t750) 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>
UTG+1 checks, Hero bets t300, UTG+1 bets t300, Hero bets t600.
I bet 300 here trying to see if he actually has a 3, maybe he just hit a straight, maybe 2 pair. None of these concern me. I see his raise and drool...got him. I go all in....
Final Pot: t1650
Results in white below: <font color="white">
UTG+1 shows 3c 3d (four of a kind, threes).
Hero shows Ks Kd (full house, kings full of threes).
You probably could have guessed this since I posted it. Lost to someone slowplaying my slowplay.
Outcome: UTG+1 wins t1650. </font>
In retrospect, on this exact hand, I don't think there is any way I could have come out on top without a serious overbet preflop. Once I hit trips, I was pretty much married to this hand. Especially after I hit the boat.
