Hand taken from 2+2:

2+2 wrote:

So I decided to play 50/100NL last night on UB. Game was pretty good. 7 handed at the time of this hand. I get Kc Ks in the CO and there are 2 limpers to me, I decide to overlimp for deception, SB completes and BB checks. Effective stacks are $10k

Flop is Th 9h 8c and its checked to me and I bet $100 into $500 pot. BB and 1 limper UTG+1 call.

Turn is a 7h
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, I decide to trap them on the river and check

River is a 6h
BB goes all in for $9000, UTG+1 folds, and Hero?

BB was imsleeping if that matters.

Thoughts?

i think he played it quite well :P maybe just a tad passive.........probably safest to fold the river, just on the off chance that villians 18x pot bet means he has a heart. (or is that me being a bit tight).

WTH? Insta fold, he's only beating an utter bluff. Is he joking; 'trap them on the river'? Trap who with 1 pair on that board. I'm told that there's a lot more psychology at that level but this is taking the piss.

zero info on any of the players hands. he's calling only to split, has only 2BB's committed. ffffffold

My thoughts are that i need to playing at these levels....

Sarcasm Detector Update needed immediately for Cardshark.

I've read the thread over on 2+2, imsleeping is the most gambly-loose-overbetting with air players ever. Against his range this is an instacall. There's too many hands that you beat that he could try this on with.

$800 dead money in pot!!

I am Im sleeping on UB. I had Ad As in this hand, I correctly put him on KK and thought I could get a call out of him now that I had disguised my hand so well.

I fold preflop. KK only wins 20% of the time against a random hand anyway.

My thoughts are that his line was very poor.

Here's my line:

Preflop: I min-raise in this spot. I have a hand that wants if not needs action so I have to keep the limpers interested.
Flop: I check here. I don't like betting, I want the other players to catch up first.
Turn: Now I bet, 100, I've let them catch up enough so now I can start to build the pot more.
River: Min-raise any bet or else just value bet 100 if checked to. Seeing as villian has pushed I can now instacall. I've got him, he'll never put me on KK.
