AJ Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Flat called round to you, three callers, you raise to 4 x BB and two of them call. Raggy rainbow flop, with an Ace on the board. How do you lead off, Check / Bet (how much) / Fold ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daftpegasus Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Re: KK in small blind You don't say whether this is a cash game, STT or MTT which could well influence any decision. However I think I'd be leading out with a two thirds/three quarter pot size bet hoping to take it down now. If you get a caller then you're probably behind, I'd fold to someone coming over the top.

Glen1000 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Re: KK in small blind First off with 3 callers before me and being in the sb I would raise 8xBB. Then lead out with a two thirds/three quarter pot size bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuby1982 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Re: KK in small blind i think i would bet the pot, but if i know im playing players who are liable to call on Ax i would prolly make a small bet, hoping to play them off the hand later or hit trips, its always likey they have it 2 pair there are so many players out there that would play rag ace, this is a question where information on players would be vital to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then lead out with a two thirds/three quarter pot size bet. Spot on IMO :ok 4xBB is too small a raise when out of position against 3 limpers with a big hand.... Not sure I make the continuation bet against 2 opponents :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 Re: KK in small blind Good feedback thanks. Been in this situation a few times recently, not just with KK, but with QQ as well. Perhaps I do need to raise harder preflop. My problem is making the continuation bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen1000 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Re: KK in small blind The continuation bet is the tough one. This is why in this situation raising big enough pre flop to either take it down or be left with one opponent is what you are looking for. If you got two caller with that flop I'm still for making the continuation bet. The last card you want to see is the ace but should you be scared of it:unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nade Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Re: KK in small blind I was writing out my thoughts, but kept having to alter/ delete parts as there is so little info available i.e. reads and position come into this massively.
