Takin a Shot at 25/50, KK play

[Rocaix]

Been running very good lately at 10/20, I see two huge fish spewing chips at prima 25/50, so I decide to jump in to the game. Don't plan on making this my regular game though.

I have 5500, Villain covers

7-handed

Folds to me in CO with K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I make it 200, Very good tricky villain who I suspect is a winner in this game calls from the BB.

Flop: 10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Villain bets $300, I make it 1050 straight. He quickly calls.

Turn: 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

check, check

River: 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

He bets $2400, I think for a while and call.

Thoughts on my play, particularly the flop and the turn.
Standard stuff?

Very Tight, for the most part I've been getting outta the way of the regulars and only trying to get involved with the two fish.

this is pretty tough. villain is probably good enough to deduce that you are a tight player, so he's probably got a good idea of your hand. when that 4 hits, it's a great card for an overpair to see, which is what he might be thinking. if he thinks you to be a simple, not too tricky player, i think my play here would be to fold. i'm not sure tho, i'd be itching towards a call, since it'd be an oddly played AA/set.

NH. I like it.

Odd for AA? Yes. Odd for a set? I don't know about that. I often take this exact line with a set against somebody who probably had a good hand pre-flop: Bet the flop, hoping to get raised. Then, when you do get raised, re-raise if he's bad, call and go for a check-raise if he's good (or check-call turn, lead river, depending on a few things). If the check-raise whiffs, I make a nice fat bet on the river, just as I would some portion of the time if I'd missed a draw. On the flop, Villain represents a draw, by leading, and then backing off when he gets raised. Whatever happens from there, he's pretty much forcing you to guess.

Since we're guessing, I'm calling the 2400 in Rocaix's spot; maybe that's a testament to how good a line it is, or maybe to how much of a station I am.

I still don't feel great about the river call, i have to assign huge value to the call just for meta game reason here, AA KK are pretty much my TOP hands i'll ever be holding here and if i fold the best hands to this line i'm in an awful situation later, but still i just can't see a good player trying to bluff me off what he knows is AA KK QQ etc. Your thoughts?

Does the 10/20 on prima go that frequently? Lately I feel like prima has been dying.

Hi Rocaix,

Well played on all streets. Expect to win often. If he shows you 76 them's the breaks. If he flopped a set, you couldn't have lost much less without giving up a ton of value.
