Special setup w/ KK

sourbeaver · #1 11-08-2005, 07:32 PM

The hand right before this one, there was a minraise UTG and 2 callers, I picked up AA in the SB and decided to make it 15 straight, they all folded. I thought the situation was perfect to make the same move and hopefully get a loose call.

Villain in this hand is a typical passive calling station.
What's your preferred flop line ?
Flop push = insta-call ? (factoring stack sizes, pot, hand, etc)

I think you played it just fine - if he's got AA then so be it.

.edit or hit his set

Looks fine, I probably wouldn't do a pot-sized bet on the flop - lets him get away from his AJ or KQ or whatnot too easily.

So I probably bet 20 here then push ANY turn.

Yep, insta-call.

Looks right. I might go $25 on the flop to make myself look a bit less committed. (And because that's what I'd bet if I had AK.) And yes, instacall.

why do you bet less when you have AK as opposed to KK?

One of my favorite moves-- works awesome.

I think 20 is a little better preflop with deeper stacks, but you're not real deep here so 15 is fine.

Huh? I don't think I said that?
