1/2 no limit cash game.
i get dealt KK in late position.
A few people limp in before me, i raise to $25 preflop. everyone folds except one person in an early position who calls. we'll call him john.
john and i have both been playing very conservatively.
i have about $300 in front of me, john has about $500.
the flop comes J J 7
he checks, i bet out $50. (about the pot.)
he calls.
turn comes 7.
he checks, i check.
flop comes rag.
he checks.
i think i have him beat. i bet out $100, hoping he would think i was trying to steal the pot. he raises me to $200. i call.
he shows JQ off suit to make the full house, clearly beating my 2 pair.
should i have bet more preflop to eliminate players holding hands like JQ?
how would you have played the hand differently?
