Did I play this KK too weak?

Okay so here goes. I think I might've been a bit too weak with this guy... No specific reads, he just joined the table - no stats on him either.

The flop raise is mainly for value. I didn't try to push him off the hand.

push river. why would he bet only $5 if he had QQ or JJ if you were showing so much strength preflop and flop? he must've had AQ (right?)

edit: 2nd thought, if he is a tricky player maybe he has AA, but if thats what he had I don't understand why he wouldnt push flop.

i dont see how you can raise this river, you only beat AQ and AK here

what'd he have?

hmm i would raise the river though

This is exactly what I thought, but not sure if I could bet the turn.

What range of hands do you put him on after raising EP raiser preflop, then calling a rere-raise?

preflop, flop ok.
i bet turn for value: 15$-20$
if called i check behind river. if raised and with no reads on him, i better fold.

yeah i just had a quick look im reviewing it now, sec

hmm well actually i like your line untill the river, his bet screams weakness so much there, i would prolly put him on 1010 or maybe ak or aqs...

It is a tough one, but i would definately want so see where i am at. I dont like his play at all, could be aa or qq though. KK is a bit unlikely because you are holding this. I think he is a donkey either way

i think value betting the turn here is donating chips, sorry for my previous error .

how do you not reraise that $5 river raise OMFG I think you should bet the turn and river = all in. Im assuming retardo showed down AQ or some medium PP like TT-88.

I like the preflop play but post flop play is terrible IMO. This guy has given you no reason to doubt your KK is no good here. Without a read and the given stakes this is 100% push --> every <-- single time.

Im sure even BB would push here. (maybe not push but definatley reraise)

I think KK is beat.

I've seen lots of fishes betting stupid weak with very strong hands.


It's so disgusting when you raise them hard with second nuts just to see they minbet the nuts all the way...

KK isnt the second nuts it's not even close

it's like the 15th nuts, just call the river and show it down, you don't beat AA or QQ or JJ here

i think he either had AQ, JJ, or AK

the advice you guys are offering is retarded - why do the majority of you assume he always has AA - JJ, why does he always flat call AA preflop according to you guys. This is absurd. One thing you also should take into consideration is what's given "he just joined the table" A lot of dumbasses have egos and hate being bullied and will call raises with a large variety of hands.


Also you think someone who is retarded enough to min raise preflop is smart enough to smooth call preflop with AA? I doubt it, you need to develop better conceptual thinking before considering a true hand range.

First. I gave no advice.

Second. Who said KK was second nuts poke... I was talking about hands I have played in the past with fishiiiiesss.

it's hard to play it any weaker, so it's funny that you ask that

Here, I dig up some HH from 3-4 months ago.

I ask because with the given action, I put him on nothing less than JJ+. Obviously I assumed too much of the player and I would've felt a lot more comfortable pushing it all the way if I had some info on the player. For all that I know, he could be some nutpeddler dood who is scared of 7x on that board with QQ. Many players are either weak tight or loosepassive and when either of those bets, it's usually trouble.

Now it wasn't the case with this players for the showdown, I just couldn't help but to laugh. He wouldn't have called much more, but he might've called some.

Don't really see why you didn't reraise river? Looks like a pretty obvious blocker bet, I think you should make it $15-20 on the river.
