Two KK Hands

[Nick Royale]

Failing to bet the flop in hand 1 is really bad IMO . When we've gotten to the turn the risk of being up against an A is big, but I think it's worth placing one more bet in this pot (it's big) and I definately think the turn is the correct street to invest it.

I'd play both hands exactly the same.

- Edit - Hmm, or actually I would probably have called the river in hand 2. Although it's maybe the wrong thing to do.

Grunching...

Hand 1: I HATE 4 to a flush on the board! I would lay it down too! I know some will say call one more bet but with so many draws out there and the raisers silence until then...

Hand 2: I would have called one more bet.

Did you have any reads on these villians?

Okay, here's another KK (ace magnets) hand that I just played. I absolutely hated the river card, but I just HAD to call it...

1. Fold OK. Occassionally, especially if it's heads up, you'll win the pot because Villian will bluff bets the scare card, but not that often. From most typical opponents, your beat 85% of the time. With two opponents, chance of Villian bluffing are very small.

2. Fold good. Same story as above: Especially good as Villian is unlikely to bluff raise two opponents.
