KK in BB gets heads-up preflop

[theghost]

(Party 2/4)

Hero is BB w/ K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Villain is TAG (19/11/2.6)

UTG(villain) raises. Folded to me in BB, I call.

Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I bet, he calls

Turn: J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I bet, he raises, I....

You should have c/r the flop...That's why you're only calling the preflop raise correct?

That was the plan if no Ace fell, once it did I was curious to see his reaction to a bet.

[lautzutao]

Well, if he has an Ace, he's going to wait for the turn to pop you.

If he doesn't have an ace, he's probably going to fold. So I think the turn bet was a bad idea unless you're willing to put in a 3-bet. I would have still gone for a c/r on the flop even with the ace falling too.

[theghost]

If I check the turn, don't you think he would bet with just about anything?

[lautzutao]

I'm not saying check necessarily, I'm saying if you're going to bet this turn you have to either 3-bet it or let it go. If you're just going to call this turn raise you might as well have check/called down from the turn.

Maybe not though, I'm wrong a lot

[lautzutao]

And maybe him betting with anything is good for you. If he's bluffing you gain a bet he might not put in if you bet out. If he's ahead you're saving a bet.

3-bet preflop.

I want to 3bet PF and reveal my hand range. What about bet, check/call, bet ?

[theghost]

Preflop, my thinking was that against an aggressive opponent I'd get more action if the strength of my hand was concealed.

Bet-check/call-bet sounds like a good line, but when the turn Jack falls I think I'm only ahead of QQ.

[edit: so the river bet seems like less of a good idea]
