KK on AAJ board - how to play?

Akimka · #1 06-17-2005, 07:08 AM

BB is tight but hyperagressive.
22/17/3.00 for 41 hands but may be inaccurate

UTG+1 is sLP-P with VPIP 33 (he have big PFR because got dealt good cards during 21 hands that I have on him but he failed to raise PF with KQ)

Good or bad played?

BB would have 3-bet the flop or raise on the turn if he had an Ace. UTG+1 looks like slp-p so I can dig the turn bet, but I definitely check behind on the river. I don't see many hands BB will call you with (maybe QQ) and I'm also afraid the slp-p will show you aces with a low kicker.

Raise/ bet or call/ check river seems like a good line to me here.

I lost w/ KK against a flop just like this... AAX two suited.... I lost to a flush.... to a player that had limped UTG+1 w/ Q7s... I just kept telling myself that I played it right as I rocked myself to sleep...

I think it was all pretty good, you may be getting a call on the river from QQ.

I wish I had balls to bet the river like that.

Against one opponent I could, but against two, I'd figure one of them for at least an Ace with a weak kicker.

I like it.

I am assuming that we have an easy fold to a turn checkraise.

After thinking about it I agree with the river bet. But I think it is close from a value standpoint. Because I could see UTG playing a weak suited Ace this way. That said a Jack will call enough times and probably a ten as well.

I'm surprised so many like the way you played this one because I don't.

I wouldn't raise the flop. I would call.

If I did raise the flop I would check the turn through.

The river bet seems OK since by then you probably would have heard from an Ace. I'm not sure how often you get paid off by worse hands here though the way you played the previous streets.

I really don't understand the river bet against these two opponents. I think it's pretty bad. Rest of the hand is goot.

Are you folding to one bet on the river then?
