3/5NL KK nut full house, could I have played differently?
 

3/5 NL at Green Valley Ranch

Bare with me on this post, haven't done this before, but would love some help. I'm only going to include the players involved in the hand.

Table is 9 handed
Button is in seat 1.
Hero is seat 6 (MP)
UTG limps for $5 (loose passive)
1 fold, Hero has K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]k [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] raises to $20 (standard raise at this table)
SB calls (tight aggressive, tricky), UTG calls. Rest fold.

Flop K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]10[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]10[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

check, check, Hero bets 20. Both players look down at their cards and fold.

Is there anything I could have done to extract more $ on this hand? I didn't feel checking was the right choice as UTG is very loose/passive calling station with his draws and any pair.

sure, bet more

if your thought was "should I slowplay" then the answer is no. Plenty of hands can give you action, but Ah3h and 6d9d don't give you action no matter how little you bet. Just bet big and hope you get action.

Yea, you def. have to bet, especially with your description of the opponents. If they whiff they whiff.

draw heavy board, either they will call with a draw, or have hands that will not really improve against you if you give them a chance to catch up. betting is the best way to get money.

Thanks for the input guys. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Originally, I was going to fire 1/2 the pot, but 20 wasn't that much of a difference and I did want to entice one caller with a draw. I didn't want to slowplay after representing strength preflop. Seems like no one believes the bettor anyways, so why not go with it.

betting 20 is slow playing. if your going to bet 20, you might as not bet at all since it looks so fishy.(looks like a monster) just bet 2/3rds to full pot-ish and hope you get action. make ur bet look like all your other continuation bets. most hands won't give you action no matter how you play the hand. just bet more and hope for the best.

Will do. Thank you. Just got back to playing higher than 1/2 NL live and seemed to have forgotten a few things. Good thing for this forum.
