hi i`m kinda doubting whats best play here.

i think pushing flop pnly extracts value from AX
checkfolding is my normal play here but maybe a little bit nitty?
i think checkraising flop here is best way to extract value from worse pockets and other worse hands they play?

wich way is the way you play KK here

i found it aswell. when i raise just 2xbb it looks like blind stealing with weak hand. but on another hand somebody can call you with A8 and after flopping AA its hard to fold your kings

I'd raise a bit less pre flop because when you raise to 400 you only have 960 left and the pot at the flop is basically as big as your stack so any bet commits you to the pot. Then I would bet/fold the flop.

As played a cbet would be too expensive so you can't fold to a raise and you will most likely be way behind if you get called, so check/fold or check/raise might be better, but it's read dependent. If you think he most likely have an ace due to his preflop miniraise, just let it go, if you think a bet from him in the flop is a steal due to the weakness you show by checking or that he might have a lower pair, then go broke, he will most likely have to call your raise anyway because your stack won't really be much bigger than his flop bet.

Don't really like the reraise to 400 preflop, because of the hideous situation on the flop. I just push this preflop.

As played I make a terrible check/fold on flop. You can't c-bet because it's way to expensive and a pure bluff obviously. You can't check/call because it's insanely spewy. Avoid this by pushing preflop :)

ps: for all of you readers out there that didn't know yet: handreviewing requires a clear and non-baked mind. You don't want to end up like the stupid sapp who thinks this hand history is about AK instead off KK. What an IDIOT :tongue:

re-raising to 400 preflop has a lot of disadvantages... IMO either call or push preflop. I don't really mind coldcalling, you only have to invest 75 chips and postflop play is easy with AK.
Pushing is also OK, if villain minraised a few times before I'm definatly shoving preflop. VS unknown I like the coldcall preflop tbh, might be a bit nitty but it definatly decreases variance a thousendfold + is still +$EV.

As played I'm pushing flop. You're never gonna get alot of value out of non-A hands, and pushing might look like a bluff.

If you coldcall preflop I would check/raise this flop, not really afraid of the flush draw and with that potsize money can go in on flop/turn or turn/river.

Hi all,

I raise this preflop to 350. Directly pushing is being a bit results-orientated I think!

Postflop check and reevaluate. C/f to most bet sizes.
