KK vs. 8T and AJs

[Sportmint]

Hej folks, this night CG I had a real cooler by playin KK preflop. CG 1/2, my position DB: UTG makes 16, I made 52, the SB thinks and calls, the UTG also. Flop: 8s Td 2s: SB checks, UTG checks, I go with almost 260 ai, SB calls instantly... and the UTG also. Before showdown the SB suggests generously to deal twice, I agree... and the UTG not. Of course the SB wins all. What I did wrong? What I can do better?

There was 150 in the pot and 260 left behind. You might want to make it a 2 street game rather than piling it all in on the flop to get called a bit wider. Maybe bet 80 on the flop, if someone call, pot is 310, you go all in on the turn for 180.

Still the same result of course, but people are not making money in the long run by cold calling a huge 3-bet out of the blinds with T8 and flopping two pair. Its laughably bad, so just smile, say "nice hand sir", reload and dont leave the table, as long as this guy is still playing.

I believe you of course, but this almost look like play money or a fake hand history. 8 BB open, someone 3-bet, and still someone want to cold call from the blinds with a trash hand to try and get lucky. And then people say, poker is dead. Well certainly not live poker it seem

At low limits, you will see these players quite often. Their plan is exactly that - to see the flop with either hand. If this player understands what to do on the flop, then his efforts can even be rewarded.

More precisely, we can say if we find out what exactly was played at this table - cashe, tournament, freeroll ... :captain:

I see this more as a result of live poker usually being played in casinos. Casinos obviously attract gamblers, and if someone is willing to put 100$ on "black" and just hope to get lucky, then why not go in the poker room as well and put it on some random hand like T8. Players like this can obviously have a winning night, just as they can at the roulette, but they are always losers in the long run. There is no amount of postflop skill, that can make a call like this profitable.

Hello! Yes, from time to time premium hands fall into a very unpleasant bank. I think if opponents play a wide range, the best solution is to increase the size of the preflop min-raise so that there is no multipot.

You believed that your hand was still in front, but it was too late.

I would make it look .. hard to read a hand like this holding kk. i could have gone check but with each bet without A on the table and strong draw, I would call until the showdown. GL
