Always bet and then always fold...makes sense, huh?

It's not the worst time to just check and fold.

Fortitude · #4 06-20-2005, 09:48 PM

Not the worst but is it a good time to check and fold?

I think i've check and folded after raising pre flop 2-3x in my 500 of these 200+15's.

freemoney · #5 06-20-2005, 09:50 PM

i check fold these

Honestly I don't always do the same thing in these spots, but here I would usually lean towards checking and folding.

FieryJustice · #7 06-20-2005, 09:50 PM

raise more preflop next time...that may help. You'd be suprised how many people will call a 75-100 raise preflop then fold to a flop bet.

I don't mind the raise to 45. You aren't going to win every time you get called preflop, this is probably one of those times.

I do not play the 215's but with KK wouldn't you want to bet a bit more pre-flop?

Once you have shown strength pre-flop from UTG why not fire another shot on the flop?

If hes only calling you from mp3 and not re-raising what could he possibly have?

AA-88
AK
AK's-A10's

What do you guys think about a check raise in this situation?

Check raise to appx 150

Like I said earlier, I dont play at this level. Betting then folding just seems really bad.

raise more then 3X the bb with KK on level 1. I like raising to around 60-75. This will eliminate the Axo hands for the most part. after the Ace hits, bet the flop and always fold to a turn bet or a flop reraise.
