I hate this hand! (KK reraised pf OOP...line check)

[benny999]

KK = shit! maybe not, but I've lost a lot with it lately, and almost never get away from it when OOP and starting with over a 20bb pot on the flop, unless it's an ace flop or with nitty reads.

Anyways...what do you think of my line? No reads at all.

PRE-FLOP
PorterDK calls $0.50, 5 folds, bamajh33 bets $2, 1 folds, fatslobdrunk bets $6 (reraise more??), 2 folds, bamajh33 calls $4.25.

FLOP [board cards ,, ] POT=$14
fatslobdrunk bets $12, bamajh33 calls $12.

TURN [board cards ,,, ] POT=$38
fatslobdrunk checks, bamajh33 bets $10, fatslobdrunk bets $34 (all-in), bamajh33 calls $24.

I'm not sure about the check/raise. Maybe lead/fold? I tried repping missed overs and figured worse pairs might call and I have some equity against a non-nut flush. If he had 88/44 I didn't think I could get away from it since I didn't have a read.

this looks standardly played

[benny999]

ok, cool, thx. maybe im hitting lots of variance then.

You can either reraise preflop and fold to a push; or just call preflop for set value.

Or push if you can live with getting stacked by AA.

[a500lbgorilla]

its tough, in this spot if you lead the turn, you're probably commited to a raise behind and only getting worse hands to fold.

i think this way is good especially considering the weakish bet he makes when checked too.

A converter that works for Ongame (Hollywood/PokerRoom/etc) is here:

http://www.neildewhurst.com/hand-converter

Don't forget to select FTR in the settings menu-- otherwise it defaults to ITH which doesn't work well on this board.

Let me guess-- this guy open raised 84o, right? Ad2d? Oh-- I know! 7d2d! [As you can guess, I really can't tell what the hell the players on Hollywood are doing. Maybe they're just that good.]

haha! you are close. he showed :Jd: :Td: and I never improved. what a bitch, but at least nobody said this was overplayed. it's hard to play oop with big pots on the flop.

and thanks for that link, I was wondering if theres a different converter.

and yea...seems like really different play at hollywood vs party so far - more loose calls. and the 2-6max games seem even better (or worse depending if they get lucky like this or not). it should be profitable after enough hands at least, as long as i dont pay off the draws/call-stations too much.

why is it i like to reraise to 8 and just push the flop at these stakes and watch worse hands call.
Id add especially on sites like pr and skins

i think this is getting lazy and results oriented.

The solution isnt always to just move one street ahead of the trouble and tell them to bet/raise harder.

i realise how true this is, its just that i did this against small stakes players who were poor and made the most of their bad decision making.
They will make bad calls so i just made that bad into awful.

The hand was played right imo btw, just reraise to 8 or maybe 9/10.
