Wingman008 0 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Fold....there is a slight chance that he has aces. And if you posted it in this forum, it means you lost. Meaning he had aces.If by some chance he didn't have aces, you should reraise. Link to post Share on other sites
gfdsa146 0 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I'd say raise it to 5500-6000ish. If you flat call, i'm pretty sure the UTG guy is coming along for the flop which would be bad for us. There's no chance UTG is folding if he's a LAG. If UTG didnt limp, then I guess you could try to trap the button heads up for his deep stack when he keeps on playing his position with c-bets and maybe a 3rd barrel on the turn. But yeah, re-raise it up and hope that UTG jams on you so you can re-ship everything.If UTG has aces, yell RIGGED and throw your cards into his eyes. Link to post Share on other sites
copernicus 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 raise to 3k. That will charge UTG to chase, and prolly get you HU vs the raiser. Dont be tempted to raise less to keep a "position raiser" in. I dont like betting more because youre still going to have to lead vs an A on the flop, and you dont want to build the pot that big this soon. Link to post Share on other sites
Young Turk 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hero flat-called and the flop came 873. Hero bet, UTG pushed, button folded, Hero called.UTG shows 99, Hero shows KK. Turn and river come blanks.I'm actually UTG in this hand and was thinking about how 'Hero' played his Kings. All I've seen advocated so far is a reraise with Kings, but I was wondering whether trapping in this spot is a good line. Button later told me he had AQ...so KK is still a slight favourite, but definitely not <60%. Link to post Share on other sites

It's a slight alteration of a stop'n go, only you have a hand and the laggy opponent will assume you're pulling a stop'n go.If an ace comes on the flop, oh well, chances are you weren't folding it out.

Right down to the description of UTG (DN). WTF? And then the flop is different? haha... Link to post Share on other sites

And then the flop is different? haha...The one at the EPT London where DN was in my spot with AQ, and ended up being busted by a similarly slow-played KK? The action's the same, the cards, blinds, stacks, etc. are all different...I'm afraid I just couldn't limp with AQ UTG - would put in a x2.5 raise...and probably would've still been stacked when KK slowplayed Link to post Share on other sites
