Re: KK Post flop
I play it the same way pre flop and on the flop. I hate seeing that ace so I might check behind him and then see if he leads out on the river and determine where I am at then.

Re: KK Post flop
Ditto. I definately am not putting any money into the pot after seeing that A.

[/ QUOTE ] If I'm villain, I'm shoving any river card just cause you checked behind on the turn. I think if you wanna get a showdown, it's a lot better to bet small on the turn and check behind on the river. |

Re: KK Post flop
Isn't that a good thing though? You get hands you own to get their chips in the middle, which is good here.
Two things: Draws, and getting crap to call you. How do you this? I don't think it's by shoving the turn. I think checking the turn is solid, despite giving away a free card. |

Re: KK Post flop
I put villain on 77+ more than I put him on an ace. He could have As7s+, but its still about 3-2 that you have him beat. As for the turn, he's probably feeling pot committed on the flop, and the A one the board makes it considerably less likely than he has one.
Checking behind here is weak. U give him a free card to a draw that won't pay you off it he misses, but will extract some $$ from you if you are beat. You also give up a potentially profitable situation of getting called by an underpair. |

Re: KK Post flop
Well it's not really a good thing because you're going to fold if he bets anything significant on the river. It's also very hard to bet a small amount on the turn after putting so much in on the flop, but it's still probably worth it to bet small and hope he calls/folds then checks the river. It seems likely that he's either on a straight draw or a flush draw (likely with the As). By betting you'll lose minimum if he's got the A and win maximum if he's drawing and misses. He could also have a made hand like a set and go for a river CR after seeing you bet the turn -- or he could raise the turn and allow you to fold easily.

Re: KK Post flop
Well, what's hero going to do if his opponent pushes the river? Surely if you're somewhat scared of the ace on the turn, you can't like an all-in bet on the river.
I don't like pushing the turn either. The ace makes me sick, but there's a reasonable chance I have the best hand. I wanna make it to showdown as cheap as possible. I bet something small, maybe just 200-400. That looks like it either begs of a call or dreads a call. Most opponents without an ace will lay down there, and most with it will check-raise, perhaps all in. So you either pick up a good size pot with minimal risk on the turn, or lose a few more chips in order to find where you're at, and save the rest of them. I think both are way better than facing an all-in bet on the river and having no idea where I'm at. |

Re: KK Post flop
I see that play now. I think it makes a lot of sense. Bet just 200-300 on the river, see what happens?

Re: KK Post flop
I meant bet turn -- fold to CR.
Then check riv behind. If he gaybets anything decent on riv, fold (especially if a draw hits -- though this would be a nice missed draw bet by him if the draw didn't hit and a nice fake hit draw bet by him if it did). Perg explains this pretty well above. |
