$1000 NLHE MTT Deep Stacked: Interesting hand could have played it different?

[miko122]

I was playing a hand in a tournament at my local casino and i was in the small blind with k9 suited and i had about 65k in chips bb had about 25k in chips and i believe blinds were at 75/150 not entirely sure going by memory. So everyone folded to us in the blinds i just call with k9 suited and bb raises to 400. Figuring just a position raise or maybe an ace i called. Flop comes out 678 two spades and i have spades so I flop everything pretty much. So the pots about 1000 give or take with antes and i check he leads for 750. I thought about raising but if he has ak or even nothing i figure il let him keep firing. So i call and turn is A of spades so i have the nuts. I check and he bets full pot on this bet which was somewhat confusing to me. I thought even ak wouldnt bet that much there incase up against a flush. Figuring since he was betting so strong he would do it on the river. River comes a 5 completing straight draw. I thought about leading but i figured the only value i would get is if he would bet. river goes check check and he flips over pocket aces. I would have never thought he had that. Would any of you played the hand any different?

The turn bet that he made probably gave him a good idea that he might be beaten once it was called. The 5 that completed the straight draw, probably killed the action even more so I dont think hes value betting anything , but mabe second nuts. The board and action becomes to scary now to continue bluffing. If he made the straight hes taking it to showdown , if he made a weak flush hes taking it to showdown. This is assuming this guy can play poker ofcourse.
In witch case im betting a small amound on the river and giving him a good price to call. If the villain is really agro then I might check , to see if I can induce a bluff. If the Villain is a donk than Im betting slightly more.

Yes, I would have bet or raised for value at some point.

 

[Jblocher1]

I would have value bet the river. Probably half pot or two thirds of the pot

 

[Beanfacekilla]

I would have bet all streets, FWIW.

It confuses opponents when you lead right out when you have the nutz (the turn). You could have made more, but still you did alright.

However, K-9 suited will get you into trouble. It worked this time, but it is a trouble hand. And you even said you thought he might have an ace preflop (in which case you are behind).

Players in general act weak when they are strong and vice versa. Skilled opponents who are actively ranging their opponents will catch on to this. Mix it up with monsters like this. Raise the flop.

That is my $0.02. Take it with a grain of salt.

That is all.

Raise pre? Definitely dont agree with that.. You cant play the lottery once you know the numbers.. K9 suited is just going to get you into trouble most times especially up against aces.

this is blind v blind. K9s is an auto raise and not even close

I agree, but do you just call or fold to the 3bet which is likely, or 4bet bluff and fold when he shoves considering how deep the stacks are?

 

[duggs]

im not limping my small blind, if he was likely to be 3betting me pretty wide then id flat, if not r/f is fine.

 

[JohnBoyWWFC]

Lol 1k tournament. Lol 500bb deep. Whole hand = lol

Yeah you could've made it look like you were trying to protect against a 4 flush on the turn by betting big, he probably would've re-raised you since he hit his set, and then you stack him right there. By checking and then calling a huge bet you basically telegraph that you have a flush.

I would check raise the turn hard. If he has a set he probably is not getting away from it either way and unless you get sucked out, you have him crushed. What makes you think he did not has a set on the flop with pocket 6, 7, 8's If he has the smaller flush, the only logical explanation for his betting so far may be QJspade and that is borderline considering pre-flop raise. Again, you have him crushed. Pocket 9's could also play that way as well. But again, you have him crushed.
so, I would flat the flop as you did but I would check-raise the turn. The pot size bet was either be because he may be thinking you have a weaker A or are drawing to the straight imo. He may shut down but doubtful.
If you get to the river, then bet the river. At that point he may push the rest of his chips to you. Probably not folding either way after knowing he has AA. At least there is a chance to get more chips than you did.

+1. If I could figure out how to multi quote I would plus one your other post about the pre raise being automatic BvB.

As played, It was very passive.
