At the £5 level I'm assuming opponents are at least semi-competant, so their calling range should include a lot of medium and low pairs, suited aces and suited connectors, this flop absolutely smashes their range (I'm being non-results orientated here).
Pre-flop over 2 limpers I'd make it 150, with KK you want to see a flop HU. If you take the pot pre-flop thats fine also.
In a DYM I'd probably check-fold this flop, it's a nightmare to play OOP. I'd rather save my stack for a better spot. Ultra-tightness FTW in DYM early stages, if you have to lay down KK then so be it.
One other point how did he not know I hit the flush on the flop, is he just hanging round to luck the river as he had nothing till the river hit?
Yes I probably played it wrong hence why I was asking for opinions, DYM's 5.50 you get a hell of a lot of fish and people playing ATC but my read at the time before it all went in before the river was that I was infront
Like you know I have only been playing for a few months so just wondered what the more experienced players thought
for the flop, i dont see the need to bet pot here - what are you representing? - an overpair or two big overcards - surely you want to represent a flush?
a lot of players are also reluctant to call if they dont have a heart here but the pot bet pretty much screams you dont have a flush
to sum up, when you could be very confident you had the best hand, you bet small
when you were no longer confident you had the best hand, you bet big
if you do this all the time, its a huge tell
Oh and dohhh try playing them again, you will see what I mean about so peoples play, I have a list of them lol
Play 10 of them at 5.50 and see how many you win as a little challenge, bet you will be posting hands all over the poker clinic, beats/brags/var and area 51 forums lol
ah my bad
i really struggle with these hand histories!
i'd say flop if fine then, but on turn, its kind of a weird bet size, may as well be all in as putting in 3/5ths stack
at that point nothing you can do, the guy doesn't have the odds to call so its a mistake but sometimes he's gonna hit it - this being one of those times
