Sorry in advance, because this is quite a basic level question. Just want to make sure I'm on the right line of thinking. Please can you correct any mistakes I make in my analysis posted below, thanks.

8 players post ante of 0.13 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.5 BB) Hero has K K

fold, Hero raises to 3 BB, fold, MP+1 calls 3 BB, fold, BTN calls 3 BB, fold, BB calls 2 BB

Flop: (13.5 BB, 4 players) T 8 Q
BB bets 13.5 BB, Hero raises to 30.25 BB and is all-in, fold, BTN raises to 76.82 BB and is all-in, BB calls 43.81 BB and is all-in

As you can probably see, BB was loose as hell. Well, most the table was in general but he was especially bad. I can't really begin to put them on a range.

I do believe though that I comfortably have them beat at least the 1/3 times required to make at least a call worth it so folding is out of the question.

Looking at the board, a combination of potential straight draws and wanting to scare off hands like A/X makes me believe I want to raise in this situation. Considering my stack size, shoving seems like the only correct play.

How the hand played out is written in white below which you can highlight to read if curious.


Turn: (158.37 BB, 3 players) A

River: (158.37 BB, 3 players) 2

BB shows T Q (Two Pair, Queens and Tens)

Main Pot [104.25 BB]: (Pre 11%, Flop 60%, Turn 5%)
Side Pot#1 [54.12 BB]: (Pre 27%, Flop 84%, Turn 5%)

BTN shows A Q (Two Pair, Aces and Queens)

Main Pot [104.25 BB]: (Pre 26%, Flop 12%, Turn 81%)
Side Pot#1 [54.12 BB]: (Pre 72%, Flop 16%, Turn 95%)

Hero shows K K (One Pair, Kings)

Main Pot [104.25 BB]: (Pre 63%, Flop 28%, Turn 14%)

BTN wins 158.37 BB

Pot sized donkbet is pretty unusual and is never going to be a draw here imo. More likely to be a value hand that doesn't want to risk the hand being checked through. So the question is whether BB would do this with enough AQ/KQ/AT type of stuff to make getting it in profitable.

We block KJ and 2 of the backdoor draws so can't expect many barrels that realize turn equity so I like the jam.

For all we know BB thinks AQ is nutz and doesnt want draws to get there. Not folding but flat to allow btn lag to spew. Getting it in on any turn no matter how bad.

Dont post results plz

What I read was not to show results immediately. I thought being blanked out and something people have to go out of their way to read would count under that. Won't do it in future then.

Thanks for replies though.

real std jam ul here

But 9x and Jx have gutties not to mention Qx has outs.. looks like a jam
