Default Something different - KK

5/10 6-max (6-handed)

Villain is a 45/13. Postflop he is normal/passive, playing a reasonable number of hands but not betting or raising enough.

Hero is Cutoff with K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

Preflop: MP raises, Hero 3-bets, only MP calls.

Flop (7 SB): A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
MP checks, Hero checks.

Turn (3.5 BB) 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
MP bets, Hero calls.

River (5.5 BB) 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
MP bets, Hero calls.

Doesn't your read mean that the villain is (1) likely to call down with a worse hand, and (2) unlikely to c/r with a better hand? If so, why not just bet each street?

Alternatively, how about raising (and folding to 3-bet) the river? This type of passive opponent seems capable of making a crying call with a worse hand.

Why no flop bet? Aren't you ahead here a lot of the time, especially with the flush draw?

Also, the Kh is key. And above I meant that it is a WA/WB situation. You didn't take the typical line, but frankly I like it.

This is in the loss minimization camp. Why do we want to be there? I like the flop check behind, but I would raise this turn. I would also bet it, if checked to.

i would bet the flop. If you're gonna take the wa/wb line i guess it's fine, but i would think you're giving up a lot here against a passive opponent. I'd likely bet the flop and turn if checked to. If i wanted to wuss out, i'd check the river behind.

but i dont play 5/10.

Not quite. Hero has a boatload of outs if he's behind. It's more like WA/B, but he's pretty likely to be behind. I'd rather bet the flop and take a free turn card.

Wow, I had to read the post 3x before I realized there was a monotone flop. I could have sworn that was the 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Yeah I think I bet the frop here. Lots of calls from hearts and lost of outs if he turns out to have an A.
