House on Fire

I don't know...I think you played it fine. I don't think after you cap the flop and lead the turn a tight player with reasonable aggression is raising you again with AA or AK. You're flop cap and turn lead on a K44 rainbow board is pretty much screaming out I have a 4. So you improving on the turn really doesn't mean anything here. I actually think you should have just check/called the river. I think anyone saying to go four bets on the turn and lead the river is spewing chips here.

The preflop call is fine btw.

On the turn I'd 3-bet and call a cap

I'm still leading the river and calling a raise.

After capping the flop and turn, I don't think he's going to raise the river with AK or AA, and I really doubt that action is KQ. Betting the river will only get you raised by better hands. You'll lose more and win the same.

I agree totally. Villain is not ridiculously over aggro. You are calling from the BB so a 4 is not out of the question and u capped the flop and got raised on the turn. I honestly don't like putting in that many bets. I don't think AA/ AK raises the turn here that often and getting capped on the turn very likely means u have 1 out.

If I were to do it again, I'd probably 3-bet the turn, call a cap then check-call. So that's one more bet to lose.

The turn raise had the little voice in my head grumbling "KK" but the flop action had me thinking AK, AA or KQ.

[chief444]

This opponent is calling the turn after the flop action with anything but KK way more often than not.

Some hands are destined to suck. This was one of them.

I'd have 3-bet the turn, then cried as I called down when he capped.
