Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 5782193, member: 305911"] You can post many hands at once, the only thing I would recommend is make them 1 hand per thread with the most being two hands per thread. Sometimes people post half a dozen or so hands in one thread and it can deter people from replying. hand per thread makes it easier on the responders. As far as this hand goes, its not a fun spot for sure. Its a 4 handed table so KQ off goes up in value so the flat to me is fine. I think you can make an argument for 3 betting here but then if you get called by the initial raiser (not sure what type of player they are and what their fold to 3 bet % is) then we are playing in a bloated pot out of position. I like just flatting as you did pre and seeing what the flop brings. On the flop, I am checking as you did since I almost always advocate checking to the raiser and this board is very dry. Nothing other than an ace on the turn scares us so I am not worried about button checking behind. The min raise check raise by SB freaks me out and scares me although I would be calling the bet as you did. I would be scared though and not loving the spot we are in but do like now that at least we have position on the aggressor in the hand. The turn might be the worst card in the deck for us or it could be fantastic, no way of knowing but we do know we are ahead of a lot of hands other than sets since I dont think AK flat calls pre flop and I dont think 3x or 8x that isnt two pair would raise on the flop. When it is checked to us here I dont mind checking behind but I actually prefer doing what you did and taking the lead. My reasoning behind it is I dont want to face some huge bet on the river ( we wind up facing one anyway) and maybe a bet on the turn by us slows down the SB to the point where they check to us on the river. If we are going to make a bet there I think your sixing is perfect as you are either ahead of some hand that villain is over valuing or you are against a set. River is sick. There were no busted draws so we can rule that out as a bluff possibility. I also would rule out SB has KK or QQ since they should be 3 betting that and also we have a blocker to both. That leaves us a bluff, set of 8s, quad 3s, two pair or some hand like K10 that now feels more confident since their kicker is no longer in play with the board pairing. I am discounting 3x since I wouldnt think villain would raise that on the flop but it is possible. Given that there are so few combos of hands that beat us here (Set of 8s, quad 3s, 3x, and AA-QQ which I highly doubt) I am calling this river bet. I dont love calling here but just cant put villain on enough hands to beat us and could see them easily over valuing some Kx hand that is worse than ours. Again, this is 4 handed so they might be thinking any King is good here or chopping at worse. I would call and know I would be wrong some amount of the time but given we are getting 3 to 1 here its a call in my book. [/QUOTE]
