Default Re: Need advice on these hands

The KK hand is fine obviously, and heads-up play is so situation dependent, but I have no problem with how you played it.

The K6 suited hand is interesting. Calling preflop is fine. I'm not sure I like betting out on the flop. If I have a medium pocket I'm calling here, if I have a weak ace I'm calling here. You said this guy was fishy, so maybe Im giving him too much credit, but I am not laying down a decent hand here to somebody who might be trying to push me off my hand. I'm gonna make you fire a second barrel on the turn. I don't think at this point in the tourney you want these hands to call. I think a massive check-raise is better. Playing the hand this way you will push him off of all his mediocre hands and not be faced with a very tricky turn decision if you miss. I'm not sure here, and I don't think your line was deffinitely wrong, but I think I like mine better.

Congrats on the finish.
