Re: Aces against wtfsvi
What do you do with KK if he makes it 80 preflop?

Re: Aces against wtfsvi
I'm flat calling and not getting away on a rag flop. Not doing anything different from now I think.

I agree. Which is why that's the play from his end for sure. Postflop plays itself.

Re: Aces against wtfsvi
Well. A pot sized raise is to $68, right? And he raised to $65. I don't really think we can fault him for making a pot sized raise. I don't know if $80 would be better, but $65 is not bad.
I think he played the hand very well. But it's really tough to give advice on hands between two players that adapt to each others current play in a forum like this. These situations are where the game and discussion gets interesting though. |

Re: Aces against wtfsvi
I always raise/re-raise more than pot sized out of the blinds. There is nothing magical about pot-sized. And when you look at stack sizes (which you should do when re-raising) 80 seems to make more sense than 70 here, IMO. Obviously not a huge deal. But you are going to feel more comfortable knowing that you can't make a mistake postflop. 70 is just a LITTLE bit borderline for that. Which gives the nagging feeling of 'maybe I should fold' which is just a lot worse mindset than being committed preflop. Let others know where you're at. It will also help you steal if you re-raise big in general.

Re: Aces against wtfsvi
Like I said previously, I totally agree with TWP in this. It was a mistake, and also a mistake that I think a lot of people make. When someone reraises small out of the blinds against me, and I know he is on a tight range, I lick my lips. Often the players that raise too small are also the palyers that don't raise enough.
