More of the "what are they thinking" crap (low content)

Here are two consequetive hands I played at a table. 1st off I was playing on my Empire account which I haven't done forever and not in this game, so no one knows me. My opponent in the 2nd hand is a regular LAG clown I have PT hands on.

Preflop: Hero is Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

Flop: (8.50 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>

OK? Pretty standard stuff. I played KK as hard as uh possible.

I think he checkraised the river with the sole intention of telling his friends how much like Stu Ungar he is, elevating him to a new height of coolness.

i dont at all mean to say your opponent played the hand correctly but i can almost see a semi-rational reason to do what he did. he could be thinking you would raise the turn with AK/AQ and then check behind on the river. once you bet the river he has the revelation that you in fact do not have AK/AQ but decides you might fold a hand kind of like what you had to his river checkraise. or he could just be a loony.

My point if there was one is - if you see someone play a good but not great hand very strongly, wouldn't that give you MORE reason to NOT put a move on someone in the very next hand? Heh.

I've got a ways to go. Glad it worked out for you.
