Live - KK - What Is Your Turn Line After Ace Flops
 

Live - Colorado casino - $2/$5 spread limit.

Hero is UTG with K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and raises $2 blind to $7.

Folds to CO who cold calls $7, blind folds.

Flop: A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Hero bets $5, Villain calls $5 (pretty quickly).

Turn: 10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

What's your line here? Lead $5 and fold to raise or are you in check/call down mode here? This is a recurring situation that I don't think I'm playing well.

Flame away....

What is the read on this player?

Without a read I'd lead $5 again on the turn, fold to a raise and check/fold the river.

Re: Live - KK - What Is Your Turn Line After Ace Flops
 

what is your read. I would bet again in most 5/10 live games. I might even bet the river. check calling mode isnt that bad if you can induce a bluff at least some of the time.

Don't fold the river! If you are going to fold to a raise on the river, why not just call down? It costs the same and you might be ahead (though unlikely.) He's probably a weak-loose player with something like A-10, but it could be 8-9 suited or any range of bad hands. With no read you can assume it's worth a showdown. Any good player would have raised a decent ace or set and would not have called a bad ace preflop. A quick call indicates some sort of draw usually IMHO.

I think checking the turn should at least cross your mind. But it depends a TON on how good your opponent is. If he sucks you should just bet and hope to get called down by any pair. If you take that line betting the river is probably better than checking and calling because check-calling allows your opponents to check behind all non-A hands but value bet all aces.
