Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6481998, member: 397965"] Preflop As others have said, the opponents 5BB open sizing is very large. But we have KK, so a 3-bet is still totally fine and valid, and if he jam or 4-bet in some way, we are happy to stack off with the cowboys. Flop A high flops always suck, when we have KK, and even more so in 3-bet pots, where our opponents will typically be more AX heavy. I agree with checking back for pot control and deception. Turn Usually the intention is to call a turn bet, when we checked back flop, and then evaluate river. In this case most likely fold, if he bet again, and check behind, if he dont. But in this particular spot with a bloated pot from preflop action and so little left behind, I could get on board with making an exploitative fold. Do we think, he is betting hands like QQ or JJ for value? Probably not. So mostly we are hoping, he is bluffing, and what is he bluffing with? Like KQ or KJ of spades? Even those hands have a decent chunk of equity. And most likely the reality of this situation is, that his range contain a lot of AX, which you are almost dead again. Results So he did in fact have it, and going back to his preflop sizing, its not surpricing to see him show up with a hand like AQs. A 5BB open raise is usually indicative of a strong opening range, unless it is coming from a complete maniac. The hand is an illustration of the importance of avoiding, whats called entitlement tilt. Whenever the board run out in a way, which is very bad for your hand, you just need to accept, what happened, and adjust accordingly. Try to think about relative hand strength next time rather than your actual hand. In this case "I have a pocket pair below top pair on a A high board in a 3-bet pot". Rather than "I have pocket kings, and I deserve to win this hand." [/QUOTE]
