FWIW I think putting the villian these two hands, Quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I put Button on AA or KK now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is a leak. [/ QUOTE ] Feeling mighty bold aren't we? I don't think putting him on these hands is a leak. A leak is when you make a mistake with your chips. Recognizing a slow played AA or KK is a difficult skill, and I certainly don't have it. So, I might be wrong. But from my point of view (those pesky $55s), this is a slow played AA/KK scared of a straight draw and flush draw possible board. |

[ QUOTE ] I don't think putting him on these hands is a leak. A leak is when you make a mistake with your chips. [/ QUOTE ] This is probably just semantics, but, IMO, you're going to 'leak' chips if you make inaccurate assumptions about an opponents range of hands.

But, IMO $33 players do not all play it in the manner of the OP. I think putting an opponent on AA or KK here will cause you to lose chips when opponents call with nothing and then bet you off of a pot with nothing. There is no way for you to attribute the range of KK-AA to the villian based on the information contained above in the thread. Yugoslav |

Given all the action, what would/could have been a clue, or a tell tale sign of a slow played AA/KK? [/ QUOTE ] I've never had to put an opponent on exactly AA-KK. There are things that increase the liklihood, IMO, and things that decrease the likihood. For example: If I ever play with Raptor in the above situation. It very well could be the first time I put someone on KK-AA. I doubt he'd be playing meta-games with me given his 8 table set-up and I doubt I'd really want to find out if his claims about always limping AA-KK are true or not. As for 'the above action' I assume the lack of action is what made you put the villian on KK-AA. I think that monkey's like to limp. He limped...good chance he's a monkey, good chance he doesn't have KK-AA. I'm not ruling it out, but as I mentioned previously, I'm not going to give him credit for KK-AA based solely on the information above. Yugoslav I don't think there is a 'telltale' sign of KK-AA. There are certain situations that suggest heavily you may be up against a monster (which is perhaps *likely* to be KK-AA), but there is still a distinction. |

If you are thinking top pair or overpair, this is an easy fold. Look at it as a delayed blind steal, if nothing else. Would you have called a 600t raise pre-flop?
I don't think you put your tournament life on the line on a draw, if your read says you are behind. |

So you've NEVER played against someone who limped with AA/KK in late play? Or, you've never been knocked out by someone who's limped with AA/KK in late play?
I come across this frequently enough on the $33s that I tend to watch for it. But you are right, putting villain exclusively on AA/KK here is wrong, but it's not a leak. This hand sucks. Scuba - who wants to know what "playing meta-games" means? |

[/ QUOTE ] I'm not agreeing that villain has AA or KK, in fact at this point Hero is behind just about anything, all he has is an OESD which not worth my tournament life. At this point of the tournament FE is everything so I am not calling anything when I am behind A high. |
