Hey guys,

Haven't posted my own thread in a while. This hand was on bodog, I apologize for the HH formatting, I'm writing this up from memory.

Dynamic / Stats:

Hero - Been playing active, especially relative to the rest of the table. Running around 24/19/3b of 8 over 55 hands. Haven't shown anything too out of line, as most hands were won/lost without showdown.

Villain - Playing tight over 55 hands, around 18/14 with a low 3b - around 3 if memory serves.


The hand - effective stacks $620.

Hero gets dealt KK utg and opens to $18 (Quasi loose player in blinds - 36/19, may impact perceived EP opening range).
Folds to villain.
Villain on button 3b $18 to $54. Blinds fold.
Hero calls. (My standard is to 4b here, but based on dynamic and reads of villain I felt like I would only GII with AA if I 4b here. Flatting to keep worse in.

Flop ($117) - KhJh6s
Hero checks, Villain bets $70.95, hero calls.
(Arguments can definitely be made here to c/r. Especially when he's betting what at the time felt somewhat strong. I assumed his strong range would bet most turns anyhow, and he may continue bluffing if he has bluffs)

Turn ($258.9) - Qd
Hero checks, Villain checks.

River ($258.9) - Ac
Hero ?

I think on this particular run out there's merit to bet small / fold, bet small/call, bet bigger, c/c or c/r.

4b pre
Cr flop
C/c most riv sizings

I like betsmall fold river because we have more Tx in our range than him and he should have tons of 2p/sets that may or may not bet river.

He's gonna have AA a lot here. I'd actually weight him more towards AA because I'd expect a lot of competent FR regs to be flatting AK pre here, and he's almost definitely flatting TT. Seems really close between betting $75-100 and check/evaluate based on bet size.
