What If? Episode 3

Welcome to another action packed episode of "What If?"! I actually have three questions dealing with this episode:

Your hand:

The blinds are 1000/2000. You have 25,000 in chips. You raise to 10,000. You have one caller. The flop comes:



What's your next move?

The turn is:


Now what do you do?

The river is:

So the board shows:




What do you do then?

I know this may be stupid but I'll give it a try AA preflop raise to 10G 1 caller, now I'm thinkin/putting him/her on AA, AK, KK, flop is KKA at this point this is just me now I would push it allin after flop, only the KK I would be weary of, being the turn is irrelevant and if he has Ax he's a goner now the river oh my I'd sht myself if he/she holdin KK but me I would push it after flop. I know this may sound stupid i'm not very good at putting my thoughts on paper but that's life

Well you can subtract the AA.. yet possibly AK or even KK.. However to have a 3rd king is not impossible but highly unlikely. I would put them as QQ's, JJ's or even 10's. You'd still have to bet this though for an information bet.

i must admit that i would probably be thinking about all in even though i know that the chances anyone left playing has a king is pretty high...the only thing stopping this move would really be about cash...what cash i would lose and how much i was in for real money wise would have an effect on my play at the end...then i would be watching the other players move/s more closely and what he is betting...small tourney or ring game pots and any frerrol no matter what posotion i was in would see me go all the way on this one....now if i started the hand with an AK..... :]

Push the flop. Either you add over a third to your stack there and then or you're a huge favourite if called - either is good.

If your opponent is Buckster, easy fold after river.

Otherwise, i'd slow-play and kick myself hard when last K flops and opponent flips the 4th K. That hand, you're going to lose to royal flush and 4 of a kind (K's) and beat everything else. I don't know how big opponents stack is, but i've got 15,000 more chips to bet, and I want as many of opponents as possible. I'd check, and hope opponent hits flush. Then check again after turn - i've got 35,000 chips at the moment, but want 50,000, and if i'm up against a 1 outer, i'll take that risk gladly. If you push, he'll fold vast majority of the time - i'll let him try and get straight or flush.

But as I said, against Buckster i'd just fold
