Rmoneymaker8 0 Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Ok, Im having a poker party at my house ok. there was 21 people and the buy in was $25. We had 2 tables and when someone got knocked out, the people who wernt playing goes in. So i do good and get to the final 2. I'm way ahead in the chips. The other guy gets a few pots and were about even. Blinds are decent size, i say decent cause blinds dont matter to much here, I get pocket queens. great hand heads up. im on the botton so i raise 1/10 of my stack. He reraised me about 1/2 of my stack. so i just call. flop comes K Q 3, it was a rainbow flop. i got the set. so I check it to suck more chips from the other person. He bets 1/2 of my stack. So I reraise and go all in. He calls. He had pocket Kings. I did make a comeback though from nearly no chips at all to win. there was about a $150 difference for first and second place. Did I play the hand bad, or did i just get unlucky. Any suggestions on what i could have done differently? Link to post Share on other sites
tekn0wledg 0 Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Well, I think his large raise pre-flop should have been an indication that he had a strong hand. Whether or not he had AA or KK at that point is not known. Once the flop comes I think it's still a bit difficult to know for sure. Anyone with AA is going to bet in that situation, so for you to lay down trips is a bit hard even with the K there. As I said, anyone with AA would bet here so it's a toss up as to what this person has.I have to admit that I would've done the same thing you did, it's just such a hard play to detect. However, I would've been weary. If I had any inclination, which you didn't seem to mention in your post, that he had KK, I would've been outta there for sure and let him have the pot.

Rmoneymaker8 0 Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 he gave off no information at all. i had no idea that hed have pocket kings because hes suck an aggressive player. i thot he probably had a pair of kings but no way i thot hed have the set.

tekn0wledg 0 Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Knowing that then you have to ask yourself is risking the going all-in worth the potential risk that he has you beaten with a set of kings?As unlikely is it is that he does, it's hard not to move all-in here. But I think his bet sizes indicate strength, particularly after the board was show he wouldn't have bet without at least two pair because that is a scary flop.It's hard to say thought as I mentioned before.... tough to lay down.

Rmoneymaker8 0 Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 Thanks for your advice. If im ever in a simaler situation ill remember that info Link to post Share on other sites
Mills 0 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 wow, i really dont know what you couldve done there. this may be a go broke situation. i can see folding before the flop,but it would really depend on how this guy was playing and what sort of hands he tends to reraise with. tough to put a guy on aces or kings when u are heads up holding queens though. if it were me, i may have moved in before the flop....oops.and no, there is no way in history anyone would ever lay down a set of queens after that flop.

the_stein 0 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 you aren't looking for advice, you're looking for people to tell you that there is nothing you can do about that. There people above me said it and I said it, now shut up."oh sure muck a set of queens heads up" people like you piss me off, honestly Link to post Share on other sites
