How not to play pocket kings

Batkin88

I sat down at the £60 guaranteed torny with a table of players i have never heard of, asn quickly picked one of these players was unbelievably aggressive and would call down any bet with king high, so i thought il try and trap him.... how wrong was i and what a hand to do it on!

lesson never slow play top cards but i guess you know that!!!!

saying that if you had say raised 5xbb he may of called still seing you said he would call most bets!!!! ul

i had this in the freeroll earlier!! people just wont fold will they!!! maybe thats why i tend to avoid them

Batkin88

i was doomed from the start of this hand! I could of shoved pre he would of called lol! Oh well i learnt that lesson very quickly

YOUNG_GUN

lol ul batkin, only error is pre not re-raising it the rest is just a cooler that he hits two pair

UL batkin nowt you can do against a maniac!

SHANXTA

the main prob here is you say that this opponent 'will call you down with king high' or 'i could have shoved pre and he still would have called'

so why on earth didn't you?

Batkin88

because i wanted him to catch first, and then once he had i would push, i thought it was a safe flop to follow all in, and then he turns over 7 2!
Really i aint going to take anything from this hand apart from it being a bad beat. i tried to trap and ended trapping myself i.e the title How NOT to play pocket kings!
