2 live 2/5 folds.... possibly very boring
Live 2/5 at Foxwoods for both hands but different villains.
Hand 1: Villain has $500, I cover. 1 limp, villain limps, other guy limps, I limp on the button with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], SB completes, BB raps. Flop is T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($30) Checked to villain who bets $25. Other guy folds. Villain has been betting almost every single time its checked to him in latish position regardless of his cards. He knows that I know this as I've been giving him a hard time about it during my usual incessant table babble. I make it $125, folded back to villain who pauses a moment, then calls. This call means he either has something or is drawing at something pretty good. He'd probably fold or reraise with a ten (folding the bad ones, reraising the good ones). He's loose preflop so he could have a pretty wide range here (3 off the button). Turn: J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($280) He pauses a moment, then checks. I think about betting, decide if I wasn't behind on the flop, I'm almost surely behind now and check. River: 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($280) He bets $300, I fold. Hand 2: 6-handed now, I have $650, villain covers. Villain is pretty loose preflop both with calling and raising but not when calling a reraise. I've come over the top of him preflop a few times and he's laid down. Folded around to CO who openlimps, button limps, villain makes it $25 from the SB, I make it $100 from the BB with KK, CO and button fold, SB calls fairly quickly. Flop: A22r ($210) Villain checks, I bet $100, he checkraises to $400, I say "your ace is good" and fold. Standard and boring? |

Hand 1: If he was betting any flop like the raise. Good fold on the river. Unless he is a super-donk, anything he would call a $100 raise with has you beat (A-10,K-10,Q-10,7-8).
Hand 2: Standard. Pocket kings are ace magnets. |

Re: 2 live 2/5 folds.... possibly very boring
hand 1: i like a call on the flop. get a look at the turn card, watch him, see his action, adjust my hand range. it also gets you closer to showdown with a hand that is likely to be ahead.
hand 2: i asked basically the same question here . The consensus was that it was a standard fold for KK. |

I agree, calling in this situation would be bad. Call gives draws the right price to come along and you don't know where you are against villian. Optimal situation would have been to take it down right there. Given that you didn't, I shut down too.
