200NL: KK vs. Nit 200NL: KK vs. Nit

01-03-2008 , 01:16 AM
Villain is ~13/7 and pretty solid over a big sample. I don't see him 3bet much, and when he does it, he usually has QQ+. He knows I raise any pair UTG and will call a normal-sized 3bet with it, and he knows I fastplay sets. I assume that 13/7's aren't raising this flop with QQ, but they almost certainly are with AA. Am I wrong? Is this too nitty of a fold?

Ultimate Bet $1.00/$2.00 No Limit Hold'em - 10 players

Hero (UTG): $223.05
UTG+1: $200.00
UTG+2: $144.20
MP1: $129.75
MP2: $178.15
MP3: $198.00
CO: $263.65
BTN: $292.55
SB: $189.45
BB: $221.45

Pre Flop: Hero is UTG with K K
Hero raises to $7, UTG+1 raises to $20, 8 folds, Hero calls $13

Flop: ($43.00) 7 6 4 (2 players)
Hero bets $32, UTG+1 raises to $75, Hero folds

Yeah, I'm not against 4betting this or anything...probably 50/50. The main reason I didn't this time is that he's UTG+1 and is 3betting a tight UTG raiser (he probably has me ~13/9 overall and 9/9 UTG).

then yea...i like it. just making sure ur 4b-ing sometimes against this guy.

Me neither. Felt this board. What did you expect to happen when you donked?

So are you just stacking off here 100% of the time? If so, does that mean you think he has KK/QQ/JJ at least half the time?

If I just get called, I'm stacking off (even if he has AA). When he raises, it really narrows down his range, and I don't think I'm ahead all that often against a 13/7.

Wow. I am 4 betting this PF and probably getting stacked on the flop. I can't see folding this. I agree with CDL on the flop bet/fold. You seem as though you thought you were beat when he three bet you. Why did you even bet? Heck why even call his three bet PF given your read?? I don't agree with your read but it's what you were thinking at the time.
01-03-2008 , 02:35 AM
Kos, think about the hand through his eyes....What does he think you have? Would it be unreasonable to think he put you on 88+ leading the flop? In which case, wouldn't he be able to do that with a wider range than you're giving him cred for? PS: 13/7 isnt THAT nitty imo
01-03-2008 , 02:42 AM
i wouldn't get away from this this easily

i wouldn't lead the flop though either

you could cc flop or cr it imo

I definitely don't think I'm beat when a 13/7 3bets me here. I do think, though, that a lot of 13/7's aren't raising this flop against a 13/9 without a big hand. I donk it to make him give me some information. If he just calls, I'm never folding. If he raises, I think it narrows his range to AA or QQ (or I guess KK). Yes, I beat half that range, though I think he has AA more often than he has QQ.

I don't know...this certainly isn't a proud moment of mine or anything, and I'm not saying he can only have AA here. I just think his range is made up of nothing but AA/QQ when he raises the flop because he's clearly trying to commit himself, and I don't know many "good" 13/7's who want to get all in here with JJ.

This isn't a normal play for me or anything like that...I just didn't really like the spot at all. I figured I might just be losing my mind, and based on the majority of the replies, I guess I am.

Do you know many 13/9's who donk this flop with JJ-88? I'd say I pretty much never lead this flop with JJ-88.

It's not "nitty" if you mean passive, but it's super tight, that's for sure.
01-03-2008 , 03:13 AM
So what did you put him on here to make the fold is now what I'm wondering?

By not "nitty" I meant, his 7 PFR value could be tigher, yes it's tight, but its not even close to a 2-5 PFR value.

QFT. Pre-flop is okay, flop I check/raise and get it all in. If he has AA, what are you going to do... The whole point of not 4-betting pre-flop is keeping hands that aren't KK+ in his range.
01-03-2008 , 10:09 AM
by calling pf you hide the value of your hand. As played c/r flop and force him to make the decision. He may have AA but put you on set and fold.
