KK blind defense...new line
 

I've been playing kinda LAG...the easy way to tell this is that I am down money [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]......

Villians pf aggression was quite low. So I was about to reraise to $20. I thought for a sec and couldn't think of many hands he would call $20 with that he definately wouldn't call allin with, so.......

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

UTG ($201.65)
UTG+1 ($246.90)
MP1 ($210.20)
MP2 ($193.30)
MP3 ($184.83)
CO ($248.57)
Button ($333.60)
SB ($264.35)
Hero ($157.45)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $1.
<font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to $8</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls $155.45 (All-In)

he prolly wouldnt call with anything except KK-AA, maybe QQ. You lose all your value because he will take a flop with hands you have skulled. ALso why do u not have 200 on the table?

Reraising to $20 is a really bad play. Raise to $30 to kill set odds. There's nothing I love more than raising ducks on the button and getting priced in for an inevitable stacking every 8 flops.

Is this how you have been playing? Going all in?

Just make a raise, you said you have a LAG image, I think you would be surprised what he would call with. Hardly anyone is calling an all in.

Raising to $30: 1.8:1 odds.
Raising to $20: 2.5:1 odds.

Hitting a set: 7.5:1 odds.

How are we pricing him out? Does your example deal with effective odds?

Re: KK blind defense...new line
 

raise to $28 or just call pre flop. yeah i said just call. pushing is stupid if you like money, might as well just fold.

Re: KK blind defense...new line
 

Got to raise this more preflop, make it at least 30 with 3 limpers.

A 3bet is going to pot commit you, You have to bet at least 150. That would put over 50% of your stack in the middle.

OOP this is going to get ugly. All 3betting does is gets you committed versus a set and folds out hands you beat unless you put him on a draw. I don't see a flush draw doing this too often however.

Given the fact he min-raised with a player waiting to act after him i'm probably folding. If you had raised more preflop however and gotten HU, i'm calling and check raising all in on the turn.

Re: KK blind defense...new line
 

thx for the advice, in the next few hands almost the exact same thing happened. I had KK again...I pushed again and same guy called, I get excited. Hand finished and we split the pot KK vs KK.

Raising to 30 sounds good.
That gives him bad odds if he has low pp.

I guess I was hoping to get a call here from
JJ/QQ/AK

or maybe maybe some total donkey hand.

but I think y'all are right.
