Moral of this story is that you must consider things situationally. Yes a case could be made that I could have taken this hand down preflop. And its not totally out of the realm of possibilty that BBB could have called me even had I shoved PF. Capecod is mostly new to these games and doesn't yet have enough hands to have much of a feel for us and our games, like wise we don't know much about him.

So in this particular case it wasn't all that hard to muck my K's.

I agree that the laydown here is a good textbook case. But I am always surprised when many of my opponents will not lay the hand down. Now I'm not 100% sure that capecod has either the ace or jack on the flop. Could be aggresively pushing a draw as well. I "might" have called if my gut told me he pushed with draws as 400 there still leaves me plenty of outs to see the turn and have a healthy stack. But I would never push back there. And the laydown would have been crystal clear on the turn.

As additional note I would suggest that capecod overplayed his set on the turn. Unless you believe that klitkat is betting with fluff on the turn, your jacks are seriously beat. Few people are willing to call the reraise on the flop and bet the turn without having the set at least outkicked (vs 4). My guess would have been flush or even a lucky boat (j-6).

Nice play by you. I think cape should slow down on the turn and just call the bet to evaluate the river. But thats me.

Perhaps my statement that we all had shown we know how to be aggressive was a wee bit tame.

Cape cod is new to us, but came out swinging. Klitkat (BBB) is a know LAG.

I should also add that somewhere post flop, I could feel that this hand was gonna get really really nasty, and my KK was doomed by that flop. This was a player read more than anything else. Sweet as KK is, this laydown wasn't tuff.
