First level of APAT UK: no info on any players, all equal stacks.
On btn dealt KK.
UTG limp
Mid call
I pot re-raise, blinds fold, both players call.
Flop - 647
Checked to I bet the pot, both players call.
Turn - A
Checked to, I check also fearing someone has hit a set and is hoping I bet into Ace.
River - A
UTG checks, Mid position bets just shy of the pot.
The preflop limps dont suggest an ace, although I dont like the UTG limp call. The flop play to me doesnt suggest oevrcards but made hands. I do see that I have played weakly from the turn onwards and my initial raise preflop may look like a steal and continuation. Is Mid just pushing me off the pot?
In the end I folded, for three reasons:
1 - its very early and I dont want to commit 30% of my stack.
2 - with UTG in the hand, if I flat call, I have to fold to any reraise.
3 - the flop play suggested made hands.
UTG folded, showing Jacks, Mid folded did not show. He said he only had top pair flop, which may have been the case but I am not sure. he later seriously over valued 88 preflop versus a clear big pair (AA/KK) and went out, so its possible he overvalued his flop holding if he had say suited connectors. That said I say dont believe a poker player, and that he had a set, two pair or made str8.
Maybe firing again into the turn would have been a better plan but I was limiting pot sizes at this point and feared I was behind. All in all, im quite happy with how I played it.
What does everyone think?
