Dont turn your hand faceup for cheap

PP 6-max 2/4

Hero has just gone on a mini streak of hands ... got KK, called a 2-bet preflop and check-raised a 443 board and got-all in with QQ and hit a K on the turn to make certain to get to 800.
Then myself and another villain got all in each with AK on an A-high board.

This is the 3rd hand in the series.

Hero is button with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Villain 1 has been raising to 10 with his really good hands, 15 with his big unpaired cards, and minraising with some other stuff that I havent seen yet
Villain 2 I dont have much on

Villain 1 has 300, hero has 800 and villain 2 has 400

Prelfop
1 limper to villain 1 who minraises, folded to hero who makes it 30, villain 2 minraises to 52, villain 1 folds ... hero thinks, and decides to call with nearly 100 in the pot and having to call 22 more. Can beat 5:1, and I have position.

Whatever villain has, he's played it very oddly. I can't think of any hands he'd be correct to check the flop with. QQ or AQ?

[jkkkk]

Villain has a set, villain isn't getting away from his set, check the flop easy, call 55 to win the rest of his cash easy, I very much doubt hes folding.

He calls and shows KK?

[Macquarie]

Would villain really check a flopped set on an unsafe board when he would be expected to continuation bet anyway?

Hmm. Maybe a lot of players would. It can't be correct to check a set here can it?

[jkkkk]

It's not correct, but your assuming a lot if you think every 2-4 player plays correctly.

I agree with this read. The fact is people check sets when they shouldn't all day long. Him min-raising your big preflop raise has AA or KK written all over it. I don't think he's checking that flop with AA. I also think you're getting paid off by pushing, good play.

[Ghazban]

I don't really like reraising the minraise with AJs. Anyway, preflop aside, this looks pretty standard. I hope you told him "nice slowplay".

[TheWorstPlayer]

It's perfect no matter what he has but he probably has KK in which case you're not getting another dime or AA in which case you're stacking him.

Edit: Oops, messed up board. Either KK or AA is donating here. Didn't realise that there was a K on the board, too.

Nice hand. Even if he pots the turn, it is a clear call, correct? Implied odds giving you 5 - 1 and given his hand range you are positive he will pay off.

KK does seem most likely, though I think there's an outside chance of AK. You played it fine.
