Big flop for 56o, how do you continue?

AEKDBet · #1 11-10-2005, 12:22 AM

A few hands in I double up through villain with AA v KK. He comments on what a big losing streak he is on. ~15 hands later he raises 35 in MP, I call with KQ and raise his 50 flop bet to 150 on a board of 3d 8d 9x, he pushes - said he had KK.

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $5.
Hero raises to $30, 3 folds, BB calls $20.

Flop: ($65) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] [color=#0000FF](2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $50, BB raises to $125

He most likely hand range is something like 88-JJ

you guys are pretty deep on the flop action so I think a push is out of the question (only gonna get a call when you are behind). I see more merit in calling and taking it from the turn with position. If you hit, you are going to a good chunk o change off this chump.

Three betting is good if you think he will fold, but you are going to have to muck if he comes over the top and pushes in.

I call. If he's a tight player who running well, you get have some f/e, as he'll hit a set next hand.

Since he's running bad/steaming, he'll call you with the better hand "when he shouldnt." Call, get the hand, break him.

Then easy push, especially if his stack is anywhere between 500-700.

I said most likely, so if I push and am wrong he will show me a set/AA and I go fish.

He's stuck and probably steaming. This really isn't a great spot to try and semibluff him. I don't think he folds like a overpair like ever. Just call the raise and proceed from there.

Weird. I played a hand in a live game almost *identical* to this. I called a button raise from the big blind with 5-6 offsuit, flopped the nut straight and check-raised. The button was particularly aggressive, so I opted for another check-raise on the turn and he folded.
