Tricky KK hand

[theredbaron]

I consider this hand 'tricky' because its right on the 'push fold' border stackwise, but I _crave_ action with KK (right).

So, I make a raise for _exactly_ 40% of my chips, again right on my borderline. I would be happy to take the blinds, or call an all in reraise, but surprise, surprise, I GET A CALLER.

My thinking was this: Trip K and monotone board. I just cant check fold and any bet is half my stack, so push. Since the AK of spades is already out there, it's VERY unlikely that my opponent called my big raise with a flush draw hand. IE he probably has a good ace or a smaller pair. If he has a flush draw as well, I WANT HIM OUT OF THERE.

your thoughts?

I would have done the same.

Did you lose to a Royal Flush, hehehehe...

Did he have QQ with the Qs?

No, even better. He had 6c6s and INSTACALLED.

Oh, I just read that it was a 10+1.

It's not really a tricky hand. I raise to t150 instead, and if an A flops, proceed with caution. If a K flops, I am getting my chips in everytime, 3-suited flop or no. No tricks about it.

Typically I would raise T150 here, but 3x raises have been getting 2 or more callers. If I had T650 I just push. If I have T800 I just raise 3x. T700 and I had to stop and think.
Usually when I think, I make bad decision. :-) In any event, I am taking this hand all the way, but I just was looking for alternate ways to think about it.

Makes sense to me. He had an underpair to the board as well as the 6th nut flush draw. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
