my image is of a competent, sometimes aggressive player. i cover my opponent who has 220BB. villain is a thinking LAG and we play aggressively with each other.
1/1 NL 8 handed
Hero (UTG)
CO (220)
Hero is dealt K
K
.
Hero calls 1, folds, CO raises to 7, BTN calls 7, SB calls 7, BB folds, Hero raises to 27, CO calls 27, folds
game was very aggressive and a standard raise was anywhere between 5-10. i don't really like limp/3betting because it pretty much defines your hand. the thing is though that if i would of raised to more then 10 there's a good chance i would get no callers because it's weird and looks very strong, if i raise to 10 it might be 3-4way to the flop which kind of sucks. not sure whats the best play. when CO raises i think he is trying to steal but i know his continuation range is very wide. i should of raised higher.
Flop (65) Q

,9
Hero bets 40, CO calls 40
so i avoided an ace but still the flop kind of sucks. it hit's CO's range pretty hard. CO slowplays sometimes so i'm afraid of that but he also knows i cbet almost every flop.
