    Default KK weak play?

    This guy is probably the most solid player I have come across at Martins. He wouldn't be in this hand without a PP or AK. I had a feeling he had AA. Did I play this too weak?

    Players:
    murdocen (EUR 44,60 in seat 1)
    Gribben50 (EUR 126,50 in seat 2)
    Argenius1 (EUR 129,90 in seat 3)
    McScooter (EUR 116,61 in seat 4)
    Smarthuvud (EUR 387,45 in seat 5)

    Dealer: Gribben50
    Small Blind: Argenius1 (0,50)
    Big Blind: McScooter (1,00)

    McScooter was dealt: Kd - Kc

    Smarthuvud Raise (3,00)
    murdocen Fold
    Gribben50 Fold
    Argenius1 Fold
    McScooter Raise (5,00)
    Smarthuvud Call (3,00)

    Flop 3d - 8d - Th

    McScooter Check
    Smarthuvud Bet (6,75)
    McScooter Raise (13,50)
    Smarthuvud Call (6,75)

    Turn 3d - 8d - Th - 7s

    McScooter Bet (27,00)
    Smarthuvud Call (27,00)

    River 3d - 8d - Th - 7s - Ad

    McScooter Bet (15,00)
    Smarthuvud Raise (65,00)
    McScooter Fold

    reraise more preflop

    Totally weak. On every street, although I think the river fold was okay as played.

    Preflop: Reraise more preflop, like gabe said. $9 to $12 range. His $3 raise could mean anything here.

    Flop: You min-reraise preflop....and check the flop? Huh? You still have no information on his hand, and he has no reason to fear you if he has AT, JJ, QQ here.

    Turn: Now you finally bet something and he is calling you. Okay, he may have a hand here, but again, it could be JJ, QQ, or AT. A set probably reraises you here is what I'm thinking.

    River: An ace drops and OMFG HE HAS ONE? What? Your silly bet of $15 is inviting him to push on you because the ace obviously scared you. If I have JJ/QQ here in this situation, as played, I am reraising the piss out of you because I know that ace is scary for you. Or maybe he does have AA/AT/Ax here and you're beat. No way to know. Check/call the river to pick off a bluff, unless he makes it ridiculous.


    This entire hand wreaks of "OMG HE HAS ME BEAT" on every streat, meaning it seems as though you're playing scared. Playing scared loses money.

    I'm not sure but I think the HH from this site doesn't show correctly. I thought I raised $5 to $8 preflop. Him raising UTG and then calling my reraise tipped me off. He usually folded to reraises, but this could just mean any PP or AK. He showed AA. I agree this was played weakly. I've been putting in too many late hours 3-tabling to clear this bonus. I'm making some questionable plays. When I go back through my HH's I'm finding a couple here and there.

    you both played it pretty weak to have AA and KK and neither be able to get it allin on such non threatening boards.

    horrible.
    minraise PF, min-CR flop. horrible. either lead 2/3+ pot or make a real CR. I prefer pot control here. Lead,
    turn kinda ok. I would like to keep the pot small here, a solid guy isnt playing a hand like this without any goods.
    river: I guess I like the blocking bet there.
