Another hand I played badly vs. duck. 5/5 live

[Chaostracize]

I have 2k, duck has me covered. One limper, she bumps it to 25. She's not being particularly crazy, she got most of that out at the 1/2 while we waited for seats. Her hand range is still wide (She's MP2 and I'm CO... correct me if that's wrong, Vanessa). I have KQo, usually mucking this to a raise, but I have position so I call, because I like losing money to duck.

We take the flop heads up.

Flop: K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Pot = 65

Duck bets 50, I call. (I have no spade).

Turn: K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Pot = 165

Duck pauses, then bets 150. I raise to 300.

How do you play this?

Raise more on the turn or don't rasie - you guys really need to chill with this min-raising crap.

[Chaostracize]

I agree. Once I made the decision to raise I should have bet 400-450. Duck had KQo here also, no spade, and folded. She said she was 50/50 as to folding/pushing.

I'd put in a raise on the flop to figure out where you are. Between 150 and 200. It costs you a lot less to get a better read than a weak min-raise on the turn, which still doesnt give you much of an idea of her hand.


I really dislike the min-raise on the turn, which should be to 400ish.

Dig up a copy of Sports Illustrated with a cover that says "The Incredible Shrinking Slugger" or something like that. It ran this summer...there's a picture of her in it.

The SI photographer came to our table at school and was like "I'm just supposed to get pictures of Vanessa..." and then proceeded to take about 30 shots of her in different poses. Showing a royal flush to the camera. Staring at her hole cards intently. Grabbing about 20 cards and looking at them as if they were her hand (the guy didn't know [censored] obviously). It was quite a hilarious scene.

Then I guess it's no surprise to anyone that whenever Duck folded against me, then found out my hand, she was furious with herself for not three betting me.

Exactly. I hate the min-raising as well.

I like the play, but raise more.
