KK in a large field. Comments please
Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (10 handed) converter
It's a pretty loose table and villain has folded one hand so far. Preflop: Hero is Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. UTG+2 posts a blind of $0.5. UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 (poster) checks, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls, MP3 :#A500AF(Villain)/ calls, CO calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 :#A500AF(Villain)/ calls, CO calls. Flop: (14.50 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(6 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP2 calls, Villain calls, CO folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, MP2 calls, Villain calls. Turn: (11.75 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> UTG checks, MP2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Villain bets</font>, Hero calls, UTG calls, MP2 folds. River: (14.75 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Villain bets</font>, Hero ????, UTG folds. Final Pot: 16.75 BB I am about 99.9% sure that the A has helped Villain. Can I fold on the turn? On the river? MKR |

Raising the turn and checking behind on the river looks like a good option as well.

Hey, if you're 99.5% sure that villain has an ace, the obvious move is to fold. But GTFO with that figure, don't ever say that [censored] again and call down.

Re: KK in a large field. Comments please
how many hands has villain played only folding one? personally, w/ the size of that thing in the middle, barring a large # of hands where villain is compellingly passive as evidence, i don't fold this turn or river.
i don't expect to win every time, but i expect to win enough that it's profitable. |

The thing that sucks here, without a read, is that this is the ultimate drawless board. However, there are so many guys at $.5/1 that will bet here with a ten or some other crap that you really never know, and the pot is very big.
The advantage to raising the turn is it protects your hand from things like QJ and J9 and costs the same to get to a showdown. |

MKR [/ QUOTE ] You can hopefully clear out a few of the stragglers behind you who might otherwise hit a 4 or 5 outer. Also, if the villian has only folded one hand so far there's no way I'm giving him credit for an Ace and folding my Kings. (I'm assuming we have more than 2 or 3 hands with him.) |

Re: KK in a large field. Comments please
Isn't it costing me an extra bet to showdown if I raise and call the river? Or do I fold the river when he bets it?
