Hi. Only my 2nd time posting here. Very new to the game. Tonight I got dealt KK preflop twice and lost big both times. The 1st time, calling an all in bet from and extremely loose player with a VPIP of something like 60. Such is the nature of the all-in I suppose, though really I think I would have been beat even if we played the cards one by one to the river.
In the 2nd case, I was wondering if this min. bet on the river is some sort of "oldest trick in the book" strategy that I hadn't yet come across. In both cases though, I think these are very frustrating losses that are perhaps quite specific to the micros. You try to learn and read the board in relationship to the kind of calls your opponents are making and imagine what these guys might be holding. But how would if EVER occur to you that someone playing so hard from preflop had only 10-7o to start? Or going all in preflop with 44! Any analysis appreciated. Thanks in advance.
