Hand Three :

I have £130ish in my stack. The villian is in MP in this hand and is a loose passive player. He limps into every hand, regardless of position and will call a raised preflop 4 out of 5 hands. The villian has me comfortably covered.

There are 7 players at the table. I am in the SB with Ks Kc. Three people limp into the pot. I raise to £7 (4x BB + 3 limpers). There are two callers (both have position on me), everyone else folds. The pot is now £23.

The flop is Th 3h 7d. I have no interest in slowplaying a flush draw board and would be happy to take the pot down there and then. So I bet £20. The villian calls, the other guy folds. Pot is now £73.

The turn is the 9c. I fire out a £50 bet, he calls.

River is the 8s. I check, he shoves me all in. I fold and flip over my KK in disgust. He is then goaded by the other players into showing his hand and he shows Jh 5h for a rivered straight.

My thought processes :

Preflop : Same as hand one, I don't like slowplaying KK especially from OOP.

Flop : Two players in the pot, flush draw on the board I wanted to take the pot down there and then or at least marginalise to one vs one. Was my bet here too strong (or weak)?

Turn : It did cross my mind he may have chased a gutshot and made a straight here, but if he was flush chasing (which is what I suspected, although I had seen him call down with top pair, mid pair etc) then he'd have missed. However there was also a straight draw on the board now hence my bet of £50. Should I have jammed here or kept the pot under control by betting half the pot?

River : I knew I was dead to any Jack, 6, two pair, set etc and my Kings no longer looked strong so I checked and it was an easy (but frustrating!) laydown on the river.
