boring blocking bet? (2-4 KK hand)

[threeonefour]

Sorry for not converting. I couldn't get the turn and river action to show up correctly [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

No real reads (its a 6max table I just sat down ~12 hands ago).

I am curious as to how you play the river(raising is a mistake right?). Also, how would you play the turn if C check-raised (does your answer change if its a min raise or push)? Also what if C lead out on the turn, where do you take the hand from there? Feel free to discuss any other random contingency that strikes you as well [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

this hand may be a bit trivial for the many experienced players of the forum, I am just coming back to NL from limit and I just want to get a feel for these things.

I probably fold the river, if you can't convert, then just type out the necessary info, i.e. example

Simple but informative.

The real question is why are you not raising PF.

i think folding is the worst option at the river(though raising isn't much better). i only need to win a fraction (1 in 4.5ish) of the time to show a profit.

river certainly is a call.

Agreed, this looks like a blocking bet from AJ/KJ/QJ whon't be calling a raise. It could also be a bet from JT but it would be hard to push him out. Plus he really could have a flush. Calling down is perfect.

Not enough, IMO, but the biggest stakes I play is $100. Anyone else think 3.5xBB isn't enough? Why not double that and protect your premium holding?
