Last week I played a 33 player live MMT, and a 9 player freezout when these 2 hands came up.First hand:I,m on the button with KK , blinds were 50-100 I had 670 chips left, (we started with 1000 chips) UTG limps for 100 seemed to be pretty tight player I raise it to 300 I figgured UTG would only call with a premium hand, BB calls and UTG folded so were heads up.flop came A,8 5 rainbow,BB reached for chips but decided to check If he would of bet I was planning to lay KK down because I had raised on the button earliar when blinds were 10-20 with A6 (no one was raising pre-flop) so I was trying to establish table presence. BB had called that hand and flop was KK8 3 way and he bet right into my raise he was called down by other player and had K 10 so I kinda got a read on him...back to the hand BB checked I checked behind him to see what he would do on the turn,turn card was the 9H that put a flush draw and a straght draw on board, again he reached for chips as if he is going to bet but he checks, so I didnt want to give him a free river card with so many possible draws out there and I moved all in for 370 more BB calls instantly and flips over AK and i'm out. any thoughts????Hand no:29 player freezeout 6 players left, blinds are 50-100 I have 1450 in chips, i'm in the BB with 9h 6s UTG limps, UTG+1 limps, fold, fold SB calls I check...flop is 5h 7h 8h , I flopped the nut straight sb checks, I check UTG was betting alot on the flops (was hoping to check raise) he bets out 250, UTG+1 moves all in for 150 moreit's 400 to me.I'll post what I did later and why but would like some thoughts on what FCP players think first...thanks :wink:

hand one. you need to go all in preflop regardless if the BB has AK or not.and even if you are not shortstacked you need to adjust your raise for the limper. limper+normal raise=400 2nd hand is meh!......SB probly ahd the flush and limper probly has the Ace hearts. so he's gonna call. its hard to make money from the limper. i'd fold

you only had about 7bbs with the kings. this is an easy push.dont raise half your stack and then be scared on the flop. you need to push it all in preflop with a strong hand like that and only 7bbs.no other play is acceptable.- Jordan
