KK Confusion
UTG+1 is 18/14.6/3.27 over 180 hands. MP3 is posting his first hand and unknown.
Preflop and flop standard? I got real confused on the turn and checked. Too weak? How often am I ahead here? How often do I need to be ahead here to justify a bet, given the 10 (discount of 1) outs if I am behind?

Re: KK Confusion
Bump.
Sorry, is this too boring a hand? Maybe my subject line sucks. Anyway, I figured I would give it one more shot. Thanks, Andrew |

Re: KK Confusion
Sup dude...
Take a look at the digest for the hand I posted "Odd KK Hand Against Hobbsman-Foxwoods 20/40"... it has some interesting similarities that you might like to look at. Basically, I found myself in a similar position as you did on the flop, having to call two cold on the flop after raising with a KK overpair. In your situation, I think betting the turn is probably better than checking. You have a big draw now which is going to be a good a high percentage of the time. You may well be beating UTG+1, who seems likely to have JJ, QQ, KK (against which you're free-rolling) or AA; against the range you seem to be in pretty good shape. I doubt MP3 would cap here and check with a made flush; you'll get check-raised sometimes here by a flush, but not often, and you have outs and may be against two opponents (providing decent "pot-padding") if you do. Betting the turn may keep you out of the difficult position of potentially having to overcall the river. Checking here is certainly not bad, in my opinion, though I think betting is a little better. They are very close, and I'd like to here an argument for why checking is much better. |

Re: KK Confusion
Sounds like UTG+1 has an overpair or possibly AQ [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. With all the action he may have been hoping to cr with his nut flush, but he probably would have bet out with it given his stats. MP3 probably has a set seeing that he checked the turn, but if he's terrible he could have 2 pair. Take the free card, because you aren't ahead very often here, but there's enough of a chance that you're up against aces and a set or two sets that a king or club on the river will win for you.

Re: KK Confusion
I like your check-through on the turn. Good job adjusting fire.
