AA in the SB...HEEEEEEEEHAW

I like this line, because playing on a paired board with aces OOP can leave you having no idea were u are at, i prefer leading the turn tho because it will def show u were u are at and people will pay u off with weaker hands because they might think you missed.

I think the combination of your avatar and the title of this post is hysterical.

As for the hand, I think it's fine. I would usually check/call the river simply because I prefer check/calling to making blocking bets, but a blocking bet has plenty of merit.

yeah me too

Pre-Flop- Raise to 14 instead of 8
Flop- You checked --- planning to check raise? I like it.
Turn- Im check-raising this to see where Im at. Ill raise him to around 50 bucks. If he calls, I have to give him credit for slowplayed Kings.
River- Id check-fold the river after ive been called by a check-raise on the turn.

No.

This is a standard way ahead or way behind situation. Don't raise.

In the mean time flat calling is creating more questions then it solves. If you have the balls and intelligence to check/call on the flop/turn and then make the correct decision to a HUGE bet on the river, then my hats off to you.

Which is exactly why Augie made a blocking bet on the river, which is exactly why most people like the way he played it. His post-flop play was textbook.

As an aside, I personally don't mind putting myself to big decisions like the one you describe, but a blocking bet is the right play for most people.

i think you played it well but theres a better way to play it. I'd bet half to 3/4 of the pot on the turn, this can be a value bet,a bet to see where you are, and an attempt to represent the king since the other two players may find it odd that u didnt try a continuation bet on the flop.

if you get raised i fold if u get called c/f the river

i dont think him betting a pocket pair is out of the question since it was checked to him twice, most players bet there with or without the king.

Raise more pre-flop. You have two limpers, someone left to act and you will be out of position the rest of the hand and your raise was only 4BB. I raise it up to at least $12-15 there. Other than that, sure.

The only way I could do this if I were willing to bump it to $12 every time I raise w/ two others in the pot. I like to raise a lot and I'm not really willing to bump it to $15 with 99 or something like that, I prefer to stay in the 3-4BB range at all times, 5BB if there are a ton of limpers.

Once I do this, I will have to make another bet on the river, because if I'm checking there is no way he's checking behind and I'll probably face a gigantic bet no matter what he's holding. And betting the river sucks because it's inevitable he's going to raise me with a K or JJ and he might raise on a bluff, either way I'd probably fold to a river rase so I'd just be spewing chips.
