Very early in FW 500+65 tourney with KK..
I posted this but wanted to get some responses. So hear goes.
This was my first live NL tournament. Starting stacks are 1500 blinds were 25/25. This is the 3rd hand of the tourney and I was in the BB with KK and my original 1500 in chips. It is folded to the button who doubled up on the first hand with 96s on a suited flop vs. QQ. Anyway, Button limps, SB checks and I raise to 100. Button Calls and SB folds. Flop comes T 6 2 with 2 clubs. Pot is now 225 I bet out 200, Button calls. Turn is an As, I bet out 225, button Calls. River is a 2 of spades and I check, Button checks. I get shown A4s in clubs and he takes the pot with A's over 2's. Did I make a mistake by not betting the river? Was my turn bet too small given the Buttons 3000 chip stack? I think I needed to bet more on the turn but he now has top pair with a flush draw and I don't think he is laying it down. Granted I have given smaller flushes better odds to call. He had to call 225 into a 800 chip pot. I have been wondering if there was anyway I could've either won the hand or bled off less my stack. I really never recovered enough after this hand to do much of anything. Thanks Hotrod |

Re: Very early in FW 500+65 tourney with KK..
I'd say you had little chance of betting him off his draw on the flop, and no chance of chasing him away when the A hit.
You lost as little as possible on the hand |

You played it fine. If anything, checking the river is ideal. If you bet, you arent getting called by a worse hand. However, if you check, villain might bluff at the pot with a busted flush draw, or a smaller pair, and you can pick it off. (Of course, you won't call a very large bet, but a small one is reasonable to call if you think theres a chance he's bluffing).
Sucks you got drawn out on, but you played it as well as you could. |
