Embarrassing Bellagio trip report ($10-$20 NL) 5 hands to discuss

[Aisthesis]

Hmmm... don't like the KJs at all. The QQ set is also interesting. I think a call is in order here. Sounds like it was too soon for you to have a really good read on him, but it looks a lot like he thinks the board pairing might be scary for you. I think that's worth more of a call, since he's not outdrawing you--he's definitely going to have to show me quad 3's, which he obviously didn't have.

I really think the main lesson (and, believe me, I've done the same thing) is that the KK hand HU put you on tilt against this guy. He got under your skin and also knows you laid down an A.

On hand 4, I don't really like messing with a non-nut flush on a paired board. I'd just go away there (check-fold). The AK hand is rough given the history of bluffs. If you don't just lay down to the first raise, I think by that time, he's the kind of player whom you'd like to call down rather than re-raising.
