Re: Daily Hand Post : KJo in LMP
 

I guess I'm specifically asking about Q hands, TT, JJ, KK, AA. then there's A high for which I can expect a split, K high which is probably borderline but can expect him to fold K high, and J high or worse for which I really would like him to fold any K high or A high


I ain't ahead with no 88 here [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I like the play w/ AK and AJ also, which I'm sure is your point, because you're representing those hands. How does the button play the flop bad? If he is usually too aggressive, then you can rule out a Q or much of a piece of that flop.

If he thinks you have an UI ace, he's likely to raise on on the flop or turn somewhere.

I'm thinking villain has 88 or so, and that was a good c/r for value. AK he's 3betting preflop, AQ he's popping it somewhere, AJ or worse he isn't CC. Any PP higher than the 99 he's popping it somewhere too, so I think K high is good here.

Re: Daily Hand Post : KJo in LMP
 

From OP description of the button, I think we can include Ax in his range of hands.

I guess I feel like a crappy post flop player here is calling with his A more often than not. That being said, I don't think this play has to work more than 50% of the time to be profitable. So yeah, I like it.

Re: Daily Hand Post : KJo in LMP
 

I don't know about at those limits, but down at 2/4 and 3/6 there are alot of guys who can play a Q or a 9 this way. With a specific read this makes more sense to me, but against unknowns at those levels I think it's just spewing.

I'm very likely to be wrong though.

So the assumption here is that villan was bluffing at the river and is going to fold for 1 more bet or that K high is good here?

sorry to be dense ...

Both.

Re: Daily Hand Post : KJo in LMP
 

Sometimes K-high is good here, (against PPs<9 and JT), and those times this raise is as good as a call, since he'll almost never bluff-3bet.

It's the other times we're concerned about, we want to encourage villain to lay down A/K high.

thank you for posting this

this is a perfect example of a hand that should be posted here

Re: Daily Hand Post : KJo in LMP
 

So a bad player will usually raise with a 9 or Q on the flop or turn into the PF raiser?
