- - KK in MP (http://archives2.twoplustwo.com/showthread.php?t=133271)

I would cold call and see what the turn action is like.
You could very well be up against AQ or KK...but I think the odds of 10 10, QQ, AA are pretty good.
On this board, I think this is a hand you want to showdown cheaply.

Run away. If you're not up against a set, you're up against aces.

Another toughie. I'm tempted to call down praying for a raised Q for isolation and an over-played AQ. But I think I come to my senses and muck.

Reads? Is SB an idiot or does he have QT, TT or 77? MP1 is problematical since you are behind AA and QQ and he's 3-bet you. Does he bet JJ here after you pf capped and led the flop? With no reads I think you need to call here and hope to improve on the turn.

Re: KK in MP **RESULTS**

I had no reads on either player, but felt that the 3bet preflop was either AA or QQ.

MP1 has "checkraised" me before the flop. Most likely he has AA or QQ. I discount KK for obvious reasons. Since only one hav beats me, it's an easy cap.

Flop: (13 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)

Well, at least I will know where I stand. It's checked to me and then check raised and check-REraised. So there are two players both coming back after I've shown strength. One has to have a set or at least AA.

Turn: (10 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, MP1 bets, SB raises, MP1 bets $8.25 (All-In), SB calls.

Turn would have given me a straight draw. But it doesn't matter. I feel better about my decision.

I'm pleased with my read about MP1, but confused my SB. And unfortunately, he left soon after this hand.

how does mp1 bet 8.25 all in at a 2/4 table?

without a read this is tough. so many douches limp reraise stupid hands, and I hate to get pushed off my kings. But the action is telling you you are beat so folding is prolly the wise play

how does mp1 bet 8.25 all in at a 2/4 table?

That's all he had left. The raise to him was $8.00 and he had $8.25 still in front of him.
