I don't get this turn bet. I know you got called by a worse hand, but is this really optimal?

The turn makes that a very draw heavy board.

What about the preflop limp?

the only draw the king added was a very unlikely flush draw. If someone already had a str8 draw, the king either gave them the straight or didn't help them.

edit: i suppose any ace can draw to the nut str8.

Yeah, ummm..err...I don't have a clue what happened on this hand. Pre-flop limp UTG with KSs very suspect. Lead the flop...fine. Got called...hmmm. Scary turn card. Well, villain can't have KQ or JQ or a set because of preflop action....err well that doesn't make sense. Let's bet it all and find out if I'm behind....

Looks standard to me [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: Gigabet sweat hand (200+15)
 

The king was a good card for me. Look at the flop action, I bet and get called by a player who still has two players to act yet. My bet was 3/4 of the pot, and a relatively strong bet for my stack. I was fairly certain I was behind when he called, however, when he doesn't raise my flop bet, with 2 left to act, he told me that his hand did not contain something with showdown value and a draw. So it was one or the other, and I figure a draw would be most likely to raise or fold in that spot. When the K hit, I was fairly certain that I had caught up. And if he did have a set, I thought there was a small chance of him folding.

As for limping utg, there were a couple players at the table who were capable of raising my limp, and folding to a reraise.

As far as limping under the gun, I was running out the door but didn't have time to add that I suspected there were some plans afoot to make a move.

Funny thing is, I see hands played EXACTLY like this at the $27s all the time--for completely different reasons.

I wish I could think things through like this.

Doesn't he just call there with exactly K,Q? Are you just willing to go broke in that case since it's so unlikely especially when the K comes on the turn?
