river wimpout

[mikelow]

PokerStars 30-60 game currently five-handed. SB and cutoff
have only been in the game for about 15 minutes.

I'm dealt K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in a middle position.

Folded to me and I raise. Cutoff three-bets and the SB caps. I call, cutoff calls. All others folded.

Flop is:

K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

Checked by SB. I bet, cutoff raises, SB three-bets, I call (?), cutoff caps. Turn is:

[K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

I bet, cutoff raises, SB three-bets, I call, cutoff caps.

River is:

[K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

Check, check, check. Comments?

Of course, my hand was good. Just too scared of AK.

I think you played it fine. I would expect to get shown AK here more often than not, maybe even AK and 88 both. I cant imagine CO capping the turn here with AA or QQ.

For you to be good he has to be 3bet KJ preflop, and the SB needs to be 3 bettting the turn with AA.

I think folding the turn would be better than giving any more action on the river. I would expect to see AK(at least) ~80% of the time here.

Only nutbars would bet the river with your hand.
