Default Call decision with KK on the flop.

The game is Party Poker $25 NL (0.25/0.50).

Hero is dealt red Kings in MP. His stack is $44.15.

UTG folds, UTG+1 limps (stack of $32.70), Hero makes it $4. CO calls (stack $24.25), everyone else (including UTG+1) folds.

Hero doesn't know anything about CO.

Flop: 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Pot: $9.25

Hero bets $9. CO moves in the rest of his stack, $20.25.

39 in the pot, 11 to call, no more calls to make after this one... you have a BIG over pair and <font color="red"> RED </font> Kings. As easy a call as they come

Default My decision and RESULTS

I figured that, though CO may have a set, he may also be moving in on draw, of which there are a lot of for this flop. The only way he could possibly have a made straight is if he held 96, which is unlikely because he had to call a substantial raise on the flop. Also, he could conceivably be doing this with TT, JJ, or maybe even QQ. I am getting about 3.5-1, and do not have to call any more bets. The combination of all these factors led me to call.

Results: He had 55 for a set on the flop. The turn didn't help me, and he rivered his 4th 5.

If the stacks were larger, you might have a tougher decision, but given the situation, you have an easy call. People will do this with as little at T9o.
