the other day i was playing and i had pocket kings and i raise 4xbb and it folded around to a player in mp and he called.
flop came 7, 10, 5 rainbow.
he check the flop and i decided to bet around half pot to see where he is in the hand hoping i could steal the pot with KK, however he called.
Turn came 2d, and he check again, i bet pot size and he raised all in,
after much contemplation i folded my KK,
he proceeded to reveal pocket 7s.
MOst players who holds mid to low pockets normally set mine, they limp and called most raises preflop hoping to hit the set on the flop, when they do they might most likely check if its a dry flop, or bet if the board might be wet. What i normally do is to c-bet or delay c-bet to see where they are in the hand, if they call or re-raise i would then re-evaluate base on the player notes and other variables. Should always keep notes on players as it would help with these situations
