Default 25-50 shorthanded online

Hey everyone. Suits not important here, feedback appreciated.

Folded to me on the button I have AA and raise. Only SB calls. I just got to the table, don't know too much about him.

Flop comes K63. He checks, I bet, he calls.

Turn pairs the 6. He checks, I bet, he raises, I just call.

River is yet another 6 for a board of: K6366

I'm starting to like my hand again. He bets, I raise, he re-raises....

Anyone cap? Anyone fold? (lol)

It's an easy cap, but no matter what don't fold.

i think the mistake, if any, was not 3 betting the turn

if he capped the turn then i would be comfortable just calling the river - and if he doesnt cap the turn i will invest heavily on the river

I like the call on the turn since:

1) He's likely to fold most of the hands you are ahead of. But might continue a bluff/semibluff on the river.
2) He's likely to cap when you are behind and it's damn hard to lay down AA in this spot.

I would cap and expect to see a big K in his hand 40% of the time and the beautifull 33 20% of the time.

Hi All_Aces (is this pokerroom by any chance??)

So you raise from the button in a shortthanded game so the SB puts you on any two cards. The flop comes K high and the SB is liking his K. He'd probably check raise a 6 but there is only one overcard to his top pair. He didn't 3 bet so you can rule out KK. 33 is a possibility but most players 3 bet the SB in this position if they are going to play a small pair.

The turn is a 6 and you are check raised, I'd still like my AAs and 3 bet shorthanded given the betting but a call gives you the chance to raise the river if a K doesn't fall.
River is a 6. 6x and KK beat you but if you cap a Kx will call. I'd raise and if he shows you 76s cest la vie.

Cap. If he has a 6, God Bless Him.

I think everyone is neglecting a set of kings for kings full as a likely holding. If he had a lone K in his hand, he would probably 3 bet or fold pre-flop. Our action has already said "king" or better" load and clear. Why does he let the BB play? I would expect to see KK or AA from the SB much of the time, and the case 6 less often - wouldn't a 6 generally make a move on the flop, forcing overcards to his pair out?



Capping is out of the question, and I think we have a crying call here. If not, he overplayed his hand and already gave you extra action, enjoy it.

I thought of pocket Ks as well, but wouldn't the SB have probably re-raised pre-flop with these?

Gimme' a break!

How many times do you think he'll turn over KK or a 6 as opposed to Kx?

The dude called a 'blind steal' and played it heads up, a lot of players gets really agressive in this situation.
