| How to Play KK against an Aggressive Player Your live $3/$6 No-Limit game at your local casino has been aggressive so far, with one player really splashing around. He has been playing almost every hand and is not afraid to bluff. That player is in the big blind in this hand. Players 3 and 5 limp to you and you make it $40 to go on the button. The big blind calls and the limpers fold. The flop comes J55; he checks and you bet $65. He flats and the turn comes 2. He checks and you bet $120; he check-raises to $300. What should you do? Call/call river Raise all-in Fold Call/fold river Correct Answer: Call/call river. His most likely hand here is a bluff. Raising the turn does nothing but fold his bluffs out. If you flat-call the turn and let him shove the river, you can maximize the amount of money you can make. |

| re: How to Play KK against an Aggressive Player poker Hmm... what are your stack sizes? If you are very deep stacked this could get dangerous pretty fast. I would actually think he hit a set of 2's in this case, but if he seems like he has been willing to bluff with a check-raise before, you can read him as bluffing either with nothing, an open-ended straight draw, or tptk. I think your only real options here are call/raise river or fold the turn, you just have to trust your read. Just something about terminology, you can't have a set of 5's here, a set is when you have 2 in your hand and 1 on the board. You have trip 5's if you have a 5 in your hand. |
