Another interesting table read - perhaps ($22)

After the hand, I really had a sense for how to think about playing in situations like these with deeper stacks. It was the first time I've had that kind of epiphany.

I promise an afterlife with 72 virgins to the first person who posts a hand played in a similar way by villian preflp and on the flop where the villian had bupkis.

The second poster will get 71 virgins, and so on.

You might be overthinking for this buy-in level. At $22 everybody's not aware of cbetting, and somebody might be just too weaktight to bet this when scared of K. At higher levels that check would be more suspicious.

3-things immediately pop into my head as I read this thread:

1) No need for non-standard play here. Raise it up PF. With a raise and a reraise, I may even push here in a 22 (50% of the time, let's say). At the very least you must raise though. It's not just a non-standard line, it's bad.

2) You're not really that deep stacked here.

3) Just play ABC poker. He will have 45 other random hands (ok maybe not 45, but you know what I mean) for every time he has a set of kings.

If I can't get it all in preflop, I am sure as hell trying to get it all in on the flop. The only reason to check behind on this flop is to induce a bluff on the turn.

I think this is a dangerous results-oriented post that could lead some players in the wrong direction. Overpairs are very profitable in the 22s. Scary check on rag board or not, you're gonna lost a lot more with AA in the long run than you win if you play it like this.

I agree, he could hold QQ, JJ, AQ, anything here "afraid" of the K on the flop, maybe players are too weak to even c-bet. I defiantely re-raise PF, I very much doubt villian will fold here to a re-raise, he'll at least call your raise and helps build the pot.

u guys are weird.... Today i had AA at lvl 2 in a $55 in MP... UTG limps, i raise to 125, CO calls, BB pushes w/ 400 chips, UTG pushes w/ 995, i push w/ 1,000, CO call 985... Hands

BB KQ
UTG 33
ME AA
button AK

of course 33 wins, but doing anything but pushing in YOUR spot is foolish. I know people are saying, "be more open minded, and try and win more chips," but FPS is something that is creeping back into this forum.

First of I reraise pre flop, I mean common its a 22.

Now on the flop I think you are way over thinking here, but if you want to go with your line here you have to check call any bet. You will diffinatly see enough random hands bluffing here if you check call. Let me repeat that you cannot fold especially if you check the flop.
