A guy raises UTG the minimum, makes it a dollar. I have AA and reraise to 3
Its just the 2 of us and the flop comes K high. He leads out for 3 dollars. I find this a little unusual and decide to raise it to 10. He just calls. So i think, is he slowplaying KK? Does he have bigslick? Turn is a blank. He checks and i bet 15 and he calls.
River is a J and he leads out for 20. What does he have? Here im thinking KJ, But find it unlikely that someone would raise it UTG and then stick around this long. But of course he could just be a donk. I think AK is not likely now, maybe KK.
I called which i knew i shouldnt have i dont really know why. Maybe out of frustration? Not disciplined to lay it down perhaps
I say nay to KK! Did the board put out a draw on the flop? If so, his post flop be would be very strange if he had KK. Why bet to a preflop raiser when you catch top set? The call says either he has a piece (AK) or doesn't believe you have the K (JJ or QQ). BTW did you play this in EP or LP? If he caught trip jacks thats just tough luck, but I would put him on AK here. Sounds like you were beat from what you're sayin at the end though, what was it?
.50nl could be anything without a read, could be BigSlic could be KK could be KJ or JJ. His first bet could have been a probe bet with JJ, but why call a $10 raise? (2 outer?) I could see preflop min raising with KJ but not calling the big raise on the flop. The call scares me more than a reraiseas it seems like he's playing you, What would you play out of position and call a raise with UTG, AK KK QQ JJ The raise on the end smells like set. I think it's worth the $20 just to see what he has in a $70 pot.
Friend asked me to disect this hand...theres alot of evidence there to suggest he was up against AA...the limp RR is the first big hint...then the lure bet with the mini raise...

I've done the same thing as the first hand--often with regret. The second is the same with variation.
AA over KK is going to see the KK pay the piper almost every time an A doesn't flop. A critique might say bet more with the AA earlier. At least that's when you are likely to get in leading. Either one could have been bet different but the outcome was likely to be the same. Some hands you just can't get away from. I can fold winning hands and laugh when I see I had the lead. That isn't much different than the story above.
On the first one it would have helped a bit to know what stacks were. But, again, it isn't that big a deal. Kismet!
