party 50nl (5handed) - kk hand

I think my biggest mistake was not reraising on the turn. Villain seemed fairly solid. How badly did I play this?

Re: party 50nl (5handed) - kk hand

You need to raise to about 2.00 from your early position. It was only 1 more dollar to call and since you are deepstack I would be apt to call with a wider range of hands hoping to hit.

The flop was decent for you but the hearts still put a damper on the action. I would pot the flop and then reraise all in. If he has the hearts he will have to commit his stack to see it and if he is chasing a gut shot he will most of the time be unable to call. I think his reraise was to dissuade you from hitting those hearts though.

However, going along with your decision to just call the K on the turn is a great card as you can push. If you get called by the flush you still have a sizeable amount of outs for the boat.

The river is a clear fold as you have obviously lost the initial vigor from the PFR.
