My Best Ever Lay Down!

Ok this is my Best ever Lay Down, Id like to here your views on this hand and perhaps any great lay downs you've made yourself.

Ok I'm on Pacific Poker $5-$10 as usual, In the Big Blind on a very loose table I look down and see KK with 5 limpers, now I no if I raise not one of these players will fold, all I'll be doing is giving them better pot odds later on, and its harder enough getting them outta the pot if its small, if the pots big I'm never gonna beat all 5 of them with KK.

So I check flop brings 9d5dJh not a great flop for me as now if I bet any 2diamonds will call me, any 67,78,QT,KT,J rag, 9, and probably the 5 will call me, so I check hoping for a check raise to knock a few out, but now everyone checks and the turn brings a horrible 7d

The board now looks like this 9d 5d Jh 7d, one of these 5 players now has me beat, I'm gonna check this but wait the Small Blind bets out, this guy is a real Loose, Passive Player, I mean he was they guy who cracked my JJ to runner runner straight earlier, he chases everything but never bets out without a hand, he's either got the Flush, or at least two pair and even if he hasnt I'm sure someone else has got a piece of this board, it was only my Big Blind $5 invested, I FOLD.

One player calls and the River is Qs board is now 9d 5d Jh 7d Qs, horrible board for me but as so many players folded I'm not sure I've done the correct thing, but my read on the Small Blind is pretty good, I mean I've played with this guy for around a month now.

The Small Blind Bets out again and the only other player in the pot calls.

Showdown time Small Blind Shows wait for it Pocket Aces...this is probably the best lay down I've ever made due to the non aggression shown throughout the hand, geez I got lucky there holding KK and I didnt lose a penny, I mean your forced to put in the $5 blind so that doesnt even count... After that I played a pretty good game ending up around $200..

I think you raise preflop

I couln't get too far into your post because it's one long sentence, but checking your option pre-flop sucks.

Does your blog contain paragraphs or merely one giant run on sentence? The enter key is on the right I recommend using it more often. Oh, raise your kings preflop and please dont give poker advice on the internet.

Wow thanks for your replies guys, Ok I'm not the best at forum posts. But really must you be so harsh?? whats the point of replying to my post if you just gonna bitch n moan?? I heard 2+2 was great for sharing info on poker, not a very welcoming site for me [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Yeah - dont waste your money with those kings.

This is why you are getting a hard time.....no one is trying to be mean to new posters but there are certain things that identify you as having much to learn. I certainly would check into how to play kings and big pairs first.

I wasn't trying to crack wise.

Seriously, it's really hard to read the way it is, so I just gave up. Edit it up a little bit and you'll probably get more constructive responses. (Also, if you butchered the hand you'll hear about it, which is a good thing.)
