WSOP Circuit lay down of KK's. Not sure it was correct.

seriously, would it have been all that surprising if he had shown you QQ?

at least now you realize the reasoning errors you made during that hand. nonetheless, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

I appreciate all of the "serious" responses out there.

After I folded he lifted his cards up to show everyone he had Aces. Needless to say the whole table was flabbergasted that I laid down the KK's. After the "nice laydown" comments, I wonder if they were genuine or if they were thinking I could be bluffed easily or that I was weak tight. Probly a little bit of both.

I know you wanted to show off your brillaint laydown and great hand reading ability. However, I wouldn't let anyone know you had kings. They might get the idea you will lay down anything other than the nuts and try to bluff you out of pots.

So, did you cash in the tournament?

No, but I lasted another 2 hours. Not too much later after the KK's hand I limped in UTG+2 for T100 w/ AcQd and the button and SB called, BB checked.

Pot is T400. Flop is KcQcKh. I check, button bets T300, blinds fold and I reraise all in figuring he wouldn't have bet with a king. He calls and shows the King but it comes runner runner flush to save me.

I couldn't get much else going tho as I wasn't getting very many good hands to work with and was forced into a SS strategy most of the tourney.

why didn't you raise PF? what was the button's kicker?

Looks like you looked into his soul and made the correct play.

Way to go!

Suprise, suprise. Your style of play is well suited for lasting but not cashing.

Why didn't you raise with AQs in 3rd position? Were you playing for a limpraise? How strong a hand do you need to make an early position raise? How many chips did you have?

Folding KK pre-flop is strictly against my religion. The poker gods reward my devotion with the occasional king on the river.

So true. That what the purpose of my previous response to this thread [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

FWIW, I hate the way that AQ hand was played.

It wasn't suited. Sometimes I raise sometimes I don't w/ AQo in EP. I don't see how not raising with AQo is a big mistake.

If this was in response to the second AQ hand I wouldn't expect someone like you whose play I respect to flame me like that. Other than maybe raising preflop, I can't see how you would play it any differently.

If it's in response to the KK's laydown, whatever...
