Alright, just recently ran into this hand. Please critique away. Should I be capping this pre-flop? I was multi-tabling, but I did notice that CO wasn't playing too many hands so I didn't cap pre-flop when it got back to me. Should I have anyway? My main question is on the river. Do I continue to bet here? If possible, please include an explanation with your answer instead of just a five-word post.PokerStars 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (10 handed) converterPreflop: Hero is UTG with [Kc], [As].

Six words. Not bad. Hehehe. :lol:Can you explain the river bet? You don't fear that someone has hit the flush or backed into trip jacks? Do I call a raise if I come out betting?

don't cap it PF. CR the turn, you need to let the PF 3bettor at least fire at it first, plus if MP3 is on a flush draw then he will be at least paying more to draw and bet that river for value

That's not a bad idea, either.The point is, you missed bets. Your AK is good here much of the time. Im gessing about 100%. 8)
