$0.10/0.25 Partypoker 6 players.

Hero has been busted twice today already and is generally running bad. I'm not on tilt but confidence is very low!

Stacks:
Hero $28.54
MP $24.84
Button $17.71

No reads on Mp, he has just sat down. Button is a real loose player & inclined to be a bit of a fish!

Hero is BB and holds K K

MP raises to $1, Button calls $1, Hero raises to $3.25, MP calls, Button calls.

Pot: 10.10
Flop: 4 3 4

Hero bets $7, Mp calls, Button folds.

Pot: 24.10
Turn: 4
Excellent card for hero, even if Mp has 33 or overpair my fullhouse is good!

Hero?

I'd say it's quite easy to get away from, you just press the fold button.

s/w

You have to stack off here

Ok, you:

Converted the hand [check]
Included reads [check]
Removed results [check]

It all looks promising. Unfortunately you gave the goddamn results in the thread title. You were so close.

Unfortunately, this results in



(BTW, check the turn - you make a lot more from other pairs and allow him to bluff if he was floating with air or generally calling light on the flop)

flol.. suppose I deserved that, although I am on tilt so maybe u could make an allowance this once!

yeah I like the turn check sometimes, the pot is big enough that you can push the river no matter what comes.

Doesn't look like anyone else is commenting so.....

I pushed on the turn, MP calls and he shows A A

He played it like ***.

Usually when you have KK vs AA, you lose your stack.

Suck it up.

Open fold turn because he can never have 55-QQ or air.

Seriously though, just keep playing solid poker. I am never folding this. I could probably be 300BB deep and have a hard time laying this down.

Thanks for the kind words Lavitz... The day got even worse with me reloading, getting up to approx $35 and holding K K . Pot was raised to $1.25 preflop by a LAG in early position holding approx $32, I raise to $3.25, LAG reraises to $7, I subsequently push almost dreading the outcome (given current form), LAG calls and we are all in preflop.
Board shows: Q 4 2 8 Q

LAG shows A Q

I left the table immediately in disgust!!!!!!!!!! Overall down $128 today.

Unless you play limit. Then you lose 5-10BBs and curse the poker gods for putting you in such a predicament!

I get those kinds of days sometimes. It gets kind of comical when you know the river/turn is going to kill you after getting it all in as a favorite. Some people need to take breaks and others try playing through it. If you're playing tilty I suggest stopping and taking a break. In fact, I suggest taking a day or two off regardless because you might be tilting in ways you don't even realize (ie. playing scared, too cautious, etc...).

LEARN HOW TO FADE BACKDOOR DRAWS.

attn Lavitz.. Thats a sickening beat man, I can't believe someone would push with that hand at those stakes!

They don't get that much better as you move up in stakes. There's just less of them.

that's actually quite encouraging Zach..

Am I the only one that looks at this as a contradictory statement?

Board looks good for the hero as only two hands beat you. A lot of pairs call any bet here so lead it.

Lol. I got half of it back playing against him 3 handed. Guy is spew city. I asked him if he pushed as a bluff or for value and he said he thought I was "squeezing".

Really dude if you can fade that then you are terrible. Brian Townsend would have just runnered nines and no one would have disagreed with the hand. You just play bad.
