Just curious if I played this correctly; any advise would be very much appreciated! I'm playing $3-$6 limit at a local card room (The Caribbean in Kirkland, WA).
I'm UTG with K
K
; one person to my left is preparing two stacks of chips as though they want to raise, so I limp in and let him raise (which he did) with the intention of reraising when it comes around to me. Seat 5 3-bets (seat 5 has become very loose as he went on tilt about 30 minutes prior), and I cap.
In retrospect, I think my plan was to ram & jam if there's no Ace on the flop, and maybe check/raise if an Ace does hit, or even if the board is coordinated.
As it turns out I end up with the worst of both worlds as the flop comes A
, 2
, 3
. Both I and the person to my immediate left check, and seat 5 bets. I raise and person to my left, surprises me by folding. I think I expected him to check/raise also. Seat 5 calls.
Sorry but I can't remember what the turn was except it would not have helped a straight or a flush, so I bet out and seat 5 calls again.
The river was K
, and I was feeling better at this point. Again I bet out and seat 5 calls; I show my Kings and he mucks.
I think I played it right, but I'm pretty sure I was behind on the flop and turn; seat 5 almost certainly had an Ace and the only thing that saved me was the river King. I'm not complaining mind you, but was it right to be aggressive like that? He showed no signs of strength; I would have expected him to reraise on the flop if he had any Ace - so if he did have an Ace, maybe he had something like an Ace-5 or something weak like that. Then again, maybe he was drawing to the flush or straight and just missed...
