How many bullets to fire with the cowboys

[Jibbs]

I just had this hand occur in a $10 MTT.

UTG and Button both LAG's playing about %40-70 of the flops

I've got 2400 blinds at 10/20. UTG limps, I look down at KK and raise to 80, folds to the button who calls and UTG calls.

flop comes 10s-As-Ad.

UTG checks. I bet 180, button folds UTG calls.

turn comes 4c

UTG checks. Anybody fire a second round here??

i check behind and call a small bet but fold to a big one.

why are you betting the flop?

[Jibbs]

I'm glad to hear you say that because thats exactly what I did.

River came 3s and villain bet out $100 at it and I called figuring I was beat but just wanting information. He turned over Qs5s for the flush [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] .

Oh well I just doubled through him when I flopped a set of fives [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

The villains in this case could have a wide range of hands that I want to give them a chance to fold representing the ace.

Faulty thinking?

[MaGi]

you're ahead of any of those hands, you worried he's gonna make two pair?

[Jibbs]

I'm afraid of the flush draw (which ended up beating me anyway) and I'm afraid that if I check through the flop that somebody is going to bluff the turn and put me to a tough decision. I'd rather put them to the decision on the flop and be done with it after that.

sorry, missed the flush draw, betting is fine (especially with 2 opponents).

There's your answer. He was playing a Grannie Mae. Incorrectly though. More raising was needed by him.
