NL100: KK in a heads up pot

bruin · #1 09-03-2005, 03:11 PM

Reads: I have a very solid table image, although I've stolen once or twice. I sat down about 3 orbits ago, and have only shown down two hands, AKs and AA, the former taking down the blinds and the latter doubling me up from my original buy-in of 55 to 110. I'm sitting on about 110 and cover the villain.

I'm in EP, look down and see K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

I make it 4 dollars to go, my standard raise. Villain calls rather quickly in LP. Blinds fold.

Two to the flop, Pot = $9.50

Flop comes K-10-5 Rainbow.

Action is on me. What is a good line for the rest of the hand?

Lead for $7.5, and bet roughly 3/4 of the pot on a blank turn.

All following actions are really dependent on reads. What type of player is villan?

Only read is that the villain is somewhat loose PF, but other than that no real reads on his post-flop play.

good chance to make a bit by betting it up off AK KQ, but then you could lose a chance to squeeze some bets out of QQ JJ.
Personally I would bet 1/2 the pot, then see if i can work him out. With a bit of luck AK will re-raise. But then i never touch the full seater tables so what do i know.

I would never check this. The trap will be obvious. I'd bet at it for about 5 or 6. Go from there. Ultimately I would play it aggressively because I would want it to look Like I was stealing/bluffing. AK, KQ, KT, TT, 55 will give you action as well as some othewr hands...but If they do not have these hands your not getting paid anyhow.
