Hi all,

5/10 $1,400 eff. Hero isos KcKh BTN over UTG pro limp (probably a bad hand), BB/pro 3! $175, fold, hero calls.

Flop ($365): T-3-4dd. V $125, hero calls. Occasionally I like flatting monsters to keep V in with a dominated hand and play for stacks on good runouts. Also I have a nit image among the regs and I don't think my 4! gets action from worse. Also, note V just lost a decent pot to the table spot who then racked up.

Turn ($590): 2c. V eyes hero's stack and bets $300, hero jams $1,100. Never getting away from AA (or A5s), may as well try to stack QQ- now, right? Also unblocking some draws he might have.

Thanks,
DT

In my experience, pro's don't limp UTG, and if they do, it's not "probably not a good hand"

What did you raise to pre?

Now that he limp/raises pre from UTG, alarm bells are going off. This is going to be AA often.

I'm just calling down all the way and not thrilled about it.

You misread the HH. UTG limp folded. He’s limped garbage UTG before. Big blind 3!. I raised to $50.

I also misread the hh. Calling pre isnt bad but I'd rather just 4bet given how wide people's ranges actually are in these spots in live 5 10.

Flop call is fine raise small is also fine

Turn jam is fine call is also fine

Pretty easy 4b. Calling at a low frequency is fine but making much less ev overall than just put in the 4b.
375 looks good if he’s gonna start folding a bunch to these size 4bs you’re printing. Many other reasons to 4b here. You’re going to be in a hi ev spot regardless here but 4b is going to be better overall for your strategy
Anyways rest of the hand looks pretty normal, I’m pretty sure kk is raising flop at a decent frequency
