KK - free showdown with A on board? - Page 3

Typically in these situations, the goal is to get to the showdown as cheap as possible. It might have been possible that calling the turn would have gotten me a free showdown ayway, due to the nature of the board.

Excellent discussion, and thanks again to the participants.

I think that either raising the flop, or calling down the whole way were the best lines.

Villian shows 88 (no spade) and MHIG.

I'm having trouble figuring out why raising the flop is good.

If I was going to raise somewhere, I think it should have been the flop.

So you are saying you should have raised the flop? Or, if you are going to raise, it should be on the flop?

The latter.

What do you think is best?

WA/WB, call down. I don't really care for when people post a bunch of hands at once. A turn raise would only be good if you thought he was drawing a large majority of the time and that he would't threebet with less than an ace. Then you get a free showdown. In this case, he hit his flush if he was drawing so I don't like the turn raise.

I just realized this is 1/2. If this were a more advanced hand I would say it would belong here, but I don't think this does. How did you get so many posts and yet you still post 4 hands at 1/2 in SS.

I still have a lot to learn, I guess. Also, I accumulated most of these posts in the psych and theory forums. I didn't really play a lot online before, and I just got both PP and PT, so I'm getting through a ton of hands now, leaving me with a lot of questions. If I have a bunch of questions from a single session, what would be the best way for me to get feedback from the forum?

I suggest that you read all of the other hands in the forum and you will learn alot from them, many of the same theories you learn can be applied to your own hands. Then you don't have to post as many of your own hands at once. If you have a bunch of hands, try and at least space them out, but I suggest reading and replying to alot more hands than you post, you will profit more. I think the micro forum would be a good fit for you. Good luck.
