    KJ got there. You're beating KQ and KT. Although at a 42% VP$IP he could be a lot further down the food chain of Kx.

    $80 flat for value seems reasonable, although it really depends on how you think he would play a better hand as his line is repping a hand you beat or chop. I've been shown sets and such in spots like this.

    A set here would make me laugh out loud.
    So you believe raising here is definitely worth it?
    Now that I think of it, the way he played the hand it seems that at worst I am splitting.

    ...and you are very correct about him possibly holding Kx...he turned over K6 or K4...can't remember exactly...

    Yeah he's trying to freeze you and/or induce something like QQ/JJ to look him up. Heck, he's probably not even thinking about your cards and just playing his hand.

    With the right read, I take guys like this to the cleaners.

    I told Lyric about a similar hand I had a month ago and he said you shouldn't throw in a raise anywhere.

    Can you elaborate Gabe? I find I'm pretty uncomfortable in these spots.
