I had a note on him from previous plays, and it read:

raises with A8o pf

He laid a good trap there, but I think you slightly overplayed your KK. Even though you have a note from a previous session, you shouldn't get stuck in the concept of that hand. It's always possible they have a big hand, and calling your reraise preflop should alert you of something. This hand is troublesome if you have in your notes that he's loose and wreckless, but assuming he has some sort of brain look at the hand from this way:

Although it's possible that he could be raising you on the flop with any hand from 77-AA, when the Q comes on the turn, I think the best move for you was to make a bet at the pot yourself to find out where your at. You followed through with a bet on the flop after a reraise preflop, then got raised and smooth called. The Q comes on the turn and if you fire a bullet out (say about $30-40) when that card hits, you can find out a bundle of information. If you get raised, he is telling you a number of things: Of them "That Queen does not scare me" is probably the biggest message you can get out of it. If that's true, and he can beat a pair of Queen's then your KK is obviously beat. Again, it depends on your preception of the player. If you think this guy is crazy enough to crash and burn with a hand like JJ to the end even when the Q comes out, then you might find yourself in a little bit of a pickle. If he's loose enough to reraise you on the flop with just AQ, then hit that Q and think he's gold, then you might also have another problem on your hands.

Another thing you might wanna consider is the limit your playing (.50/1.00) where there aren't the brightest bunch of kids that play those type of games, so you might be up against a looney that would raise your bet on the turn and not have your KK beat.

If he just smooth calls your bet, you will obviously be more inclined in thinking your KK is good. In this situation, if this particular player did infact smooth call your bet on the turn with his AA (which I don't think he'd do), then you can see that the river heart would have saved you from losing any more money on the river as he played it like a flush draw (freecard raising the flop).

Just a lot of things to think about ;-)

hi muck. use either [hand=#] or just move the hand by clicking an option in the listing

4 handed ur not getting away from kings on that board

period

stop thinking

ps you played the hand pretty bad

That was pretty harsh... and Casper if you can't get away from KK in certain situations, no matter what handed the table is, your in big trouble.

suck my dick
bitch

Make a bet on the turn, and you probably have to fold if he raises.

Do I hear an echo?
