I was playing ath the winstar world casino in oklahoma. It was a 1/3 game and the table was basically playing as 2/5 game the entire time.

I was in the big blind holding KcKs, UTG+1 raises to $10, and everyone else folds except the cutoff calls, and then obviously i raise to $31 dollars. UTG+1 folds and the cutoff player looks reluctantly and puts out his money and calls.

Pot is $73

Flop is 2s5sAs

I act first and checks and then he pushes $40 in the pot. I knew he probably had an A but he had been so loose earlier in the game, i just believed he did not have anything.

Pot is $153

Turn is 2d

I check again and he bets $60 and then i was wondering that if he was bluffing me i had a spade to bail me out on the river and if he did not have an A i still have hime beat with pocket KK so i call.

Pot is $273

At this time he has only $240 behind and i have at least $650 behind me.

River come 9s

Obviously I have the nut flush and i feel good about my hand and i bet $75 for a value bet. Cutoff insta shoves the rest of his $240 dollars and i am like what the hell.:eek:

My question is what should I have done in this situation and what is your rational on the decision that you would make? I will post what i did in the future.

If villain is really loose on all streets then a call is fine here, he can be doing this with A Xs and some other hands but prepare to lose some of the time. There is a difference though between a player that is very loose pre flop and very loose/calling station/over aggro on every street, often winning players can be loose pre flop as there post flop skill gives them an edge.

Also with KxKs on that board I am c betting almost every time, what was your reason for checking? I prefer not to give up the lead on the flop as you are already at a disadvantage being OOP.

Personally I make it like $45 with a flat caller to the original raise pre. If the original PFR calls the CO gets great odds at $31 and if he's as loose as you say Id charge him more anyway as he's probably calling.

Would be interested to know what the end result was? As I say this is really player dependant.

Thanks for responding. I agree that it was really player dependent and I was confused for a minute and i went back to the original thought and that was he was not happy about putting in his 31 dollars, plus when the Ace came i knew that i was behind because that was the only card he could hit. I also had a spade and any king let to make a better hand. I did not believe he called all the way with pocket 99 i was just wondering did he have pocket 5's.
I sat there for about 3 minutes and eventually i called. All he had was Ad4h.

I was excited to win the hand because i truly thought my way throughout the hand and made all of the right reads. Pretty much that entire day i played flawlessly and made all of the right reads.

I did not c bet because i wanted to keep the pot small enough so that i had a price that i was able to call because the guy did not normally bet very much.
Awesome hit for me, but i think he should have folded on my pre flop raise.

Glad you won. Yeah 55's or A2 are the only hand your behind here, like you said I don't think 99s get there.

From what you've said I call here too.

I think normally not c betting is a mistake, his flat call flat call range is still pretty wide and his Ax range is weak, I would prefer to keep the initiative in the hand and fire, even the times he has his ax range under enough pressure you can still get folds from this range to you aggression and you take it down all the times he doesn't have an A. Plus you always have outs with the nut flush draw. The turn is check call though as played.

Your reads were good and you should commend yourself on a well played hand and session by the sounds of it :)

I have played live a lot this summer and i know i have easily made about 3k in these summer months. The games have been really soft that i have played in. Also i really play the TAG Style very well and i use it to my advantage after i have put together some standard hands with big hands. It seems that people always call my 10 dollar raises and the crazy thing is that normally for the initial 2 hours i will play pretty straight forward and play with really good hands with the occasional big blind special if the other players allow it, but after it i will raise the same amount with any two cards and i have seen that even if i do not hit, if i cbet especailly with a high they normally just give up and move on to the next hand. I have really worked hard on my cash game play these last 2 years and when this year is over, I am really going to make run at seeing how much money i can truly make over a year's time playing live and online.

Fold turn because you could be drawing dead and villain is rarely bluffing at that price.

one of the reasons that i did not fold the turn because when i checked both streets he put in a price that i could easily call plus i figured that even if i missed on the turn if i checked he would not bet too much more that i could not call plus i had a lot of cards that helped me to win the hand so I was easily in all the way to the river. Pot control was the key to keep me in. I think if i was betting each street, I think i would have been raised and i would have been in trouble.

If river bricks do you call another bet of around 60? I think you do and live players love to milk people with these small bets that you feel like you cant fold to but you can and should be unless they are a rare aggro live playee like the villain in this hand. I do like your flop play and turn call is ok but folding is better because you need about 25% equity for a profitablr call and you only have 20% in a best case scenario where villain doesn't have a boat.
