KK turns scary on the turn
Villain is 55/0%/20 and seems to be sorta lagish. He calls on the button and I raise. Flop was already sort of scary so I bet the pot to discourage the turn. He smoothcalls and it is the ace. Line?

Re: KK turns scary on the turn
to begin with - pf raise should be 4xBB + 1xBB for each limper.. get it up to at least $2.50 pf.
on this draw heavy flop you need to bomb it - i bet at least the pot, probably overbet it - make them pay for the draw. i wouldnt be too scared of this A - he limp-called pf, so he might have jack [censored]. i'm better 2/3 or 3/4 of the pot here and reassessing based on his actions. |

Re: KK turns scary on the turn
Is the 4xBB pf raise standard or just for select hands? I am of the Harrington mindset that 2x BBraise is sufficient but I am relatively new to the cash games. If I am raising too little I would like to know.
I am usually raising 1.00-1.50 if I am the first in the pot. Am I shortchanging my good hands? |

[/ QUOTE ] dont ever min raise preflop. if u want to raise, use the 4bb+1 per limper as a guideline. do this with any hand u want to raise w/. on this particular hand if u raise enough preflop, and pot the flop, villian will only have around $4 left and the decision will be very simple... |

Re: KK turns scary on the turn
minraising is generally a bad idea, and the 4xbb + 1xbb/limper is pretty standard.
As for the line...I'm torn. I probably bet pot and put this guy all in, but I don't know really. It just seems that your preflop raise probably didn't narrow the field enough for me to assume he has an ace (though his flop call could indicate ace) |

Re: KK turns scary on the turn
Villan is too short, and already has 1/3 his stack in the middle by the turn. Raising more PF helps this problem alot. As played, I think this is a bet/call.

Re: KK turns scary on the turn
raise like 2.5 pf and stick rest in on flop.
Also are you playing at party? I remember you when I was still at 50s. |
