Default Re: when can i make a laydown like this??

i look at the board, look at the action and say, "hes got AcKc" and 3bet, both call.

It's fun to put people on exact hands, and it can be very gratifying when you nail it on the head, but it's not neccessarily good poker. It's better to say, "he's got a hand he can check raise with." Is it a made hand? A come hand? Total BS?

If you put opponent's hands into categories, you'll do better on the river. Once you put him on AcKc, you'll correctly observe that it's unlikely he has it exactly, incorrectly assume that if he doesn't have it you'll win, and kid yourself into calling.
