Looking for some analysis on this hand. I was playing three tables at Paradise. I lost 20bb at this table, won 43bb and 30bb at the other two. Critique away.Game #736231526 - $0.50/$1 Texas Hold'em - 2005/03/01-03:52:55.2 (CST)Table "Shark Island" (real money) -- Seat 1 is the buttonSeat 1: Rustee1 ($37.25 in chips)Seat 2: Fab4Forever ($15.50 in chips)Seat 3: NorthPacific ($5.75 in chips) started at $20 wasnt doing well at this point.Seat 4: Limano ($13.75 in chips)Seat 5: Bogey45 ($24.75 in chips)Seat 6: elwood_37 ($55.75 in chips)Seat 7: mecca138 ($92.00 in chips)Seat 8: invivo ($19.50 in chips)Seat 9: Peeps ($21.00 in chips)Seat 10: uncleh4488hr ($56.00 in chips)Fab4Forever: Post Small Blind ($0.25)NorthPacific: Post Big Blind ($0.50)mecca138: Post ($0.50)Dealing...Dealt to NorthPacific [ Kc ]Dealt to NorthPacific [ Jh ]Limano : Fold Bogey45 : Call ($0.50)elwood_37: Raise ($1)mecca138: Call ($0.50)invivo : Fold Peeps : Fold uncleh4488hr: Fold Rustee1 : Fold Fab4Forever: Fold NorthPacific: Call ($0.50)Bogey45 : Call ($0.50)Called a rasie with KJ in the BB. Elwood is new to the table and I have no read.*** FLOP *** : [ 8h Kh 8s ]NorthPacific: Bet ($0.50)Bogey45 : Call ($0.50)elwood_37: Raise ($1)mecca138: Fold NorthPacific: Call ($0.50)Bogey45 : Call ($0.50)Hit the flop ok and bet out. Call from one, raise from the PF raiser. Thinking I may be in trouble here but the pot is pretty good sized. I figure he is not afraid of the K so he either has AA, KK, or AK but could have an under pr, again, no read on him*** TURN *** : [ 8h Kh 8s ] [ Jc ]NorthPacific: Bet ($1)Bogey45 : Call ($1)elwood_37: Call ($1)Hit the J on the turn, bet out, call from one and just a call from PF raiser, thinking I am best here. *** RIVER *** : [ 8h Kh 8s Jc ] [ Ad ]NorthPacific: Bet ($1)Bogey45 : Fold elwood_37: Call ($1)River is an A, I bet out with my two pair. One fold and just a call from the PF raiser. Not sure where I stand at this point. What do you think?

Heart draw or married to TT/QQ. Anything else, he'd be raising the river, unless he was on KQ and realized his kicker no longer plays. I would think he would raise the turn though with KQ

[Billy Butlins]

I'd say he has a king, he had top pair and would think you didn't catch an ace so he'd call.

you got lucky, butyou really shouldn't be calling PF raises out of position with KJo. You should've CheckRaised the turn since the preflop raiser was to your left and he had raised the flop, you missed extra bets by not doing this

[Briguy]

He could have my least favourite hand (AQ), and be really, really bad at laying down 3-out draws. If that's the case, keep him at the table. You'll win 10x as much from him as you lost on this pot.

He had the AK and took down the hand. Yes I know KJ is not a strong hand but I like to see a flop with it, even against one raise, maybe too loose. The only consolation to this hand is that the pf raiser played it horribly, letting me off the hook for at least 2bb maybe more.Anybody else like KJo or am I really out there with this hand.

your out there dude. Your out of position and eaisly dominated. A lot of pros jokingly call it the beginners hand as it klooks real good and plays just as bad. DON'T CALL RAISES WITH IT, simple. Now commit thatr to memory
