After a few answers - I think I can predict what everyone will say here - I will explain why I am posting this rather no-brainer hand.

Looking also for comments on my bet size PF

Fold preflop? As played he could have a set of 10's, so we should fold... /sarcasm



Bet sizing, Probably can make it a touch smaller, around the 450 area. And we're shoving the turn everytime.

Fistpump shove, and I agree the pf bet is on the high side, I'd go with 400 but that may be too low?

this perhaps could be another leak for me. I usually raise to about 350 here.

Wizz? What are the advantages to raising to 450 instead? I thought the idea was to entice a call but not giving villain odds to set mine.

I guess someone that calls a 3 bet to 350 will probably call 450 too?

I could be losing value here? I am interested in the thinking on this.


forgot to mention also dont we also want the villain to think he has fold equity to 4 bet shove?

Definitely raise a little smaller preflop - I make it something like 300 usually to encourage that little bit of extra action (which I'm happy to get early in the game with a hand like KK).

Ship the flop all day every day, villain could have all sorts of stuff here and he's likely to pay you off with TPTK, QQ/JJ, maybe even medium pairs and other worse stuff given the size of the pot. Obviously AA and sets call us as well but I think there's more than enough other stuff in the range to justify getting in and wanting a call.

Ok, I fold because he obviously has a set of 6's.

lol you saw my other thread.....

Ship it even if you know he has 66 IMO - the poker gods will recognise your display of sheer bravado, give you golf claps and then reward you with a king on the turn for graet justice!!!1!!!!!!!1!

Yea, I did.

You have to shove here.

It's just unlucky.
