The hand below occurred in a $25 NL game on party. The CO likes to see a lot of flops and plays very loose. I believe I played the hand correctly preflop with a raise of 5 x the big blind, and then a pot sized bet on the flop, but my question is, should I have made a larger bet on the turn to press the action, or maybe even pushed it in? Thanks again for your input.SteveParty Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (9 handed) BB ($25.5)UTG ($20.5)UTG+1 ($32.15)MP1 ($29.9)Hero ($33.3)MP3 ($19.85)CO ($24.2)Button ($24.2)SB ($25.15)Preflop: Hero is MP2 with K:heart:, K:club:.

pretty standardyou arent giving him odds to call anything hes not already beating you with on the turn.its a good bet.he should fold most drawing hands and he will call worse pairs.
i saw him at the riverbank. he was breaking bread and giving thanks. with crosses made of pipes and planks. leaned up against the nitrous tanks.
he said take a hit. hold your breath and i'll dunk your head. then when you wake up, you'll be high as hell and born again.

I would bet, but i would bet more, maybe like 8. Really depends on how quickly he called the flop bet, and your read on him. Move in on the river, if you're gonna call an all in. The turn bet looks really weak.
The path
of the righteous man is beset on
all sides by the inequities of the
selfish and the tyranny of evil
men. Blessed is he who, in the
name of charity and good will,
shepherds the weak through the
valley of darkness, for he is truly
his brother's keeper and the finder
of lost children.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those
who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.
And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

not reallyheads up in this spot you want to get a called by a worse hand.betting the pot doesnt accomplish much.

When i make someone pay for a draw, i make them pay for the draw. If you put him on a draw on the flop, he mightve paired up with his draw. Maybe he folds it to a pot bet, at least he's making a mistake if he calls. Not the case with $5, he actually is getting a little better than 2.5 to 1. Eh, i know what you mean though Absolute. I just get a little apprehensive with KK. I just don't think $5 gets you as much information as you would like.
