Double cross outplay

[Worak]

This hand was played on the CC-FT-freeroll 18.11.2008

Two players trying to play each other out.

I didn't succeed.

Any mistakes save playing KJo ?

I could have raised pf but probably wouldn't have changed much, here.

....thinking about it there was no need to shove here...

Wrong read here I guess...?

Hard to see it though.
He limps AKo.
Calls the minibet on flop. No reraise there (would it have chased me away ?).
The 2/3 pot-bet on turn looked like a bluff (or semibluff x8).
I should have thought harder on the reraise on turn and flat called the 160 before, maybe.
But it was just too sticky.

Real tough spot here. I don't care how great a player is (or thinks he is), it's real tough to get away from flopping trips with a decent kicker. Plus, here the turn would be an obvious brick for any kind of draw someone would flop. I wouldn't beat yourself up about this one.

I think I trapped myself and played it wrong here.

(after some thinking about it)

Looking at the flop there are four possibilities:

1. I dominate the hand (opp has nothing)
2. I am dominated by 88,K8,AK,AQ (well in range, even for limping too)
3. opp has x8.
4. opp has a weaker hand Kx.


The way I played this hand was terrible:

- If he had nothing he folds to any raise or reraise.
- If he has x8 he folds on my turn reraise, too.
- If he has Kx lower than KJ he might call or maybe he won't.
- If he has 88, AK he will shove.

...so I'm only getting calls when I'm way behind or only slightly ahead.

- I gave free cards away - possible flush after turn, Kx could hit its kicker.

Given the narrow space I could move in here (only realistic chance for good

payoff was Kx) I should have flat called turn and keep him guessing.

Then bet about 200 on river but would I have folded to an all-in reraise on

the river ???

Fact is I got outplayed here nicely, his limping AK and checking on flop

with that board caught me in my own trap.

You didn't really get outplayed, he played his AK pretty horribly.

That said nothing he did is as bad as limping from UTG+1 with KJ - this is an absolutely standard fold but I'm guessing you know this.

Yeah, though I was MP2 - it's still a fold.
I don't really know why I played it.
Maybe I was just too tired (around 3am).
