KK and lots of aces

Hey, I'm trying to get to Carpal before I go away for three months in Jan. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I might as well try to include some strategy in those posts as well as my recent OOT high-jinks.

I really liked your play. You're either way ahead or way behind here, and I don't mind the calling. Nice river bet.

Not to try and force either out, but to make them pay for their draws, especially the flush draw who will pay for the priviledge. Plus, his description of SB includes "tends to call alot" postflop, which leads me to believe that SB will cold call 2 bets after the flop with his own pocket pair, especially after he 3bet preflop with it.

This is the main reason I was tempted to raise the flop.

As for MP3, he limped and then coldcalled 2 raises preflop, then called again on the cap. If that doesn't scream suited broadway.

Not really. He could be in there with any suited connectors, a small pocket, etc. He was very, very loose. This is one of the reasons I didn't raise the flop. I was almost certain I was either way ahead or way behind SB, but not quite sure where MP3 stood. I could see MP3 betting out here as a pure bluff, with a smaller pocket hoping to pick up the pot, with an ace or a flush draw. If he's on a bluff or a smaller pocket it would be correct to just call, and if he's on a flush draw I should raise if it were HU. I started thinking, though, that it would be stupid to force out SB if he has QQ/JJ, even if MP3 is on a flush draw, since in that case I get such a huge overlay from him. Added to the fact that I may be behind SB or way ahead of MP3 made this a call. Still not sure which is right, both sides have good points in this thread.

SB had QQ and MHIG.
