Default TPWK in BB

2-tables 33$, last 10, we're five at the table. I'm shortest stack w/1135. Blinds 50/100.

UTG (3055), loose, limps a lot, limps again. Folded to me on BB with K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. I check.

Flop: K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

What is your move, or more important: what do you want out of this hand, and what is your plan of action?

I want: To win this pot right now with a minimum of fuss.

My plan: Bet the pot and expect him to fold. Fold to a raise. If called, see what the turn brings, then decide.

Is he loose-aggressive? If so I'd try and check-raise all-in. If he doesn't give you the option (e.g. he bets all-in) I'd probably fold.

If he's just loose pre-flop but solid post-flop I'd make a pot sized bet and hope he folds.

Fair enough; I just couldn't resist when I saw two K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]'s in the hand. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Thanks for the replies.

this was a trouble hand for me. I knew I should have bet the pot, but the pot was 250, and that was about 22% my stack (Edit: after posting BB, pot bet was almost 25%). I didn't want to put 22% in, and then, if he calls, which he was capabale of doing with many hands, I'll have to take a tough decision on the turn, when the pot is big.

So my thinking was: am I ready to commit here with TPWK, and be ready to bust? my bad answer was yes, so I pushed, knowing pretty well he might call me with hands I beat (some lower pairs, or AQ, AJ, even some suited low Kx), and also with stronger K's that bust me.

He call with KT. Yep, a close one.

I busted, not too proud with my move...

Thanks again,

PrayingMantis
