Tale of Woe

Iago

I was playing in the .10c/.20c real money game and had around €50 in my stack when I'm dealt AKs in the BB, 9 players in the game and everyone calls, I wanted to thin the ranks a bit, and/or steal the €1.60 already committed so I raised to €2, everyone folds around to SB who calls.

Flop is KK7, SB bets €5, I raise to €10 SB calls.

Turn is A, SB bets €10, I raise all-in SB calls.

River is a 7

can any of you guess what the SB had children?

Sometimes I wonder why I bother!

Pocket 7's?

Thats pretty she-ite my man. If it makes you any better, I finished second in a Pacific Poker Sit-n-Go last night. Won 10 bucks. Woo-hoo!

AA or 77

SB would have raised preflop with AA so 77 is my guess... nasty hand!

Yep. Very unlucky.

Just to cheer you up (well it cheered me up anyway ), I won ~260$ last night coming 3rd in a 10$ rebuy tourny on gamingClub!

I'd love to say that they had T2o or something but no, pocket 7's. I'm scarred, truly scarred

At least he had a hand. Last night, 14 left in a mtt on VC. Paying out to 9th. I'm pretty low, about 6x BB. Waiting ages for a hand. Finally I get AQs. Guy in early position raises. Guy next to him calls. I've already decided I can't wait for the blinds to eat me up. I go all in. Folded around. Original raiser folds. Other guy thinks about it for a while then calls with J9 o. He's called 2 raises. Naturally he hits trip nines...

What was your plan for the turn, assuming its not an A or K?

after the flop and the betting activity I was getting worried that he may have had 77. definitely wouldn't have put him on a high pocket pair, as I would have expected a raise preflop. Might have had AK, KQ, or KJ, maybe (although unlikely) KT

There was a flush draw available but he had been playing reasonably tight up to that point. With him betting first and if the turn didn't produce an A or a K, it would depend on what the bet into me was tbh. There was 25 in the pot already, I had about 37 or so left. If he had gone all-in would I have folded?

If a QJT had come up, and he went all-in I might have folded, any other card I think I'd of called. After the hand I thought about it and figured my mistake was not betting much higher on the flop and taking the pot down, but having filled a house I don't think he'd of dropped his hand either.

Had he bet a small amount, I would probably have just called or min raised, I'm still only showing trips and however tight he was playing there was a flush draw and 2 potential fillers for a pocket pair on the board. Without the A or K I'm just calling a small to medium bet and having to think hard about calling an all-in if the turn is a Q, J or T.

What would you have done?

Well he certainly wouldnt of folded on the flop! Your in a bad spot on the Turn if you dont fill up, and I would have a very hard time getting away from the hand. If it was against a good/tight opponent I think I would fold to a large bet (Or a pot commiting one). I would call reasnable bets on the turn & river, but I definitely wouldnt reopen the betting. As the hand played out you actually got most of your money in when you were ahead, and thats all you can hope for.

Against a poor player, or in a very loose game I would go to the felt with trip kings and an ace kicker, as you will be up against KQ/KJ a significent amount of time.

Good Hand.
