Calling down with Kings?

Only just made the move to 5/10 short (after a shitty run at $3/6 full). I've got a feeling you're not going to like this.

Villian is loose aggressive preflop, but passive post flop. (45/13/1 IIRC). Ugly?

I might raise the turn here and fold to a 3 bet. I'm not sure what the consensus is on raising the flop. Since he is passive and loose I am guessing either AA or AXc is villians hand.

This is great. Wins the most and loses least when behind.

this play is good, cause he capped you're likely vs tens, jacks, or queens. Could also be aq,ak,aa. Vs all these holdings this is the best line, lose the least, win the most.

TylerD · #5 02-26-2005, 06:57 PM

Results for those who care: I lost to a turned set of tens.

You can't fold the turn to a 3-bet because you have the 2nd nut flush draw.

Nope. Betting the river and folding to a raise does that.

I play it the same, except if my opponent is not a maniac I will bet the river and fold to a raise.

I agree, Guy. KK is similar to A3 here and MP hasn't had a chance to show you that he has an Ace yet.

You should bet-fold the river because:

1. He will check behind with QQ-JJ and you miss a value bet.
2. He will always bet a pair of aces with any kicker.
3. He will never raise you with a worse hand.
