Default Re: KK hand

hi vehn
good post as usual. you think the utg has a set of queens here and played the turn accordingly, but look what happened. out of the blue, it's no longer the utg that is giving you trouble but rather the BB.

not betting because of your read opened the door for the BB to get in there and ruin everything. if this hand were heads up and not a 3 way, your check-down works. it doesn't work in a 3 way though, and now you see why. never ever check-down a strong holding in a 3 way vehn. i think that this hand represents the best example of the difference between a 3 way and a heads up i have ever seen, and why the number of opponents is a strong consideration when selecting a particular srtategy to deploy rather than another.
