I'm SB with KKPRE-FLOPMp2 calls, Mp3 raises, I 3 bet, Mp2 calls, Mp3 calls.FLOP [board cards 5H,JC,6H ]I check, MP2 bets, Mp3 calls, I raise, Mp2 3bets, Mp3 calls, I cap, both call. (10.5 BB)I check raise thinking someone must have caught sumthing then it gets capped, Should I be protecting my hand more by betting out in the future? TURN [board cards 5H,JC,6H,10C ]I bet, Mp2 calls, Mp3 calls $2. (13.5 BB) this is correct right?...I think..RIVER [board cards 5H,JC,6H,10C,AC ]takemycash9 checks, bmb013 checks, knovicoff checks. I check planning to check/call an AJ or sumthing, gets checked around I take it down...how many leaks were there in this one guys??...Thanks. [/b]

ugg what an ugly river card.Depending on how perceptive your competition is 3 betting preflop then checking on the flop could give away that you have a big hand(or that you missed with AK). I'd bet the flop unless you have a good read that someone will bet it, then a check/raise is fine. I'd lead out on the turn too, especially with 2 flush draws on the board now.The river is just terrible, completing the backdoor flush and the overcard to your Kings. I'd probably go into check/call mode too, maybe that's a weak play but I don't see many people calling unless they have you beaten.

Bet the flop then call when you get raised. Bet out the turn. If you're raised, 3bet it. I don't know what to do on the river, but I'd probably bet out.

This line should go bet/bet/bet.

Worked out for you in this case getting the chance to cap later, but why did you think "someone must have caught sumthing" with only two opponents? I think you have to bet out on this flop - looks like MP2 in this case probably caught a jack, fortunately for you (he held QJ or J9 maybe?).I think you should bet the river,too - he open-limped, so while he could have AJ, I'd say it's doubtful. Had the river been a heart, I think check-calling would be ok.

really? you guys think I'll be good often enough w/ a river like that? backdoor, flush, str8, and a possible overcard..

See, the reason you bet that is because if you check, only a hand that beats you will bet and all the hands you beat will check behind. So you give a bet away when you are behind, but miss a bet when you are ahead. By betting you get those value bets from QQ and JJ or whatever even when you pay of an ace.

3 handed, you have KK and the final baord isA K J T 4 Good time to check/call because you are getting raised ALOT.

Yeah, I once read something by a well respected poster that said:"Everytime I see a post that starts out: 'should I bet this river', the answer is usually 'yes'."
