The turn - KK
Villain is 35/5 in 50 hands. He is typcially not aggressive, but I have been raising his SB a fair bit from the BB.
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (6 max, 5 handed) internettexasholdem.com Hero ($27.30) UTG ($33.45) MP ($3.65) Button ($28.65) SB ($17.77) Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.10. <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, SB (poster) completes, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $0.75</font>, SB calls $0.75. Flop: ($2) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $2</font>, SB calls $2.

Re: The turn - KK
If you've seen him bluff before, I'd raise.
If not, given that you didn't really describe him as a rock or extremely passive, I'll probably call that and a smallish river bet. Although I suspect I should fold here. |

Re: The turn - KK
Yuck, seems like we are prone to a fundamental mistake in any action we take here:
Calling is incorrect if he has a FD, or J10. Folding is incorrect if he picked up a FD or is bluffing. Raising is incorrect if he has anything other than a FD (if he won't call with a naked jack, but will lead river if we cold call) The lesser of these evils seems to be folding here. C/C lead turn means to me he either hit 2 pair or a flush more often than him trying to draw cheaply or "stand up" with TP. Plus, if we call we potentially compound our mistake if he leads the river. |

why only a 3xBB pf raise? [/ QUOTE ] He had been folding to anything more in the SB vs BB controntations. And I raised to 4bb ($1 to go). |

Re: The turn - KK
Yeah, this spot kinda sucks, but I am not folding to that bet. Make him convince you on the river. If he checks a harmless river, bet and expect to be called by a one pair hand.

Re: The turn - KK
Well, at least he looks like he's offering a cheap showdown and your hand is worth that. Call turn and a similar 1/2 pot river bet.
These non-aggro villains always underplay their monsters so I wouldn't be surprised to see him underbet his K high flush. |

Re: The turn - KK
I would probably call and evaluate on the river. Your hand is too good to fold for a 1/2 pot bet in a HU battle of the blinds.
Would he call a raise with a naked J? Sometimes in this spot (ie, with no K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]) I like to raise and fold to a reraise/push, or a large river bet. I really hate letting a 4th club fall on the river and having it either cost you action or the pot. So, yeah, I would call or raise, depending on image/opponent/etc. I don't think I'd ever fold here though, without a big read. |
