Villan is 17/7/1 So Tight-passive.

I don't like my flop bet here, should be atleast half pot, but I don't think I am incorrect to fire a bet out here. However on the turn I'd rather a check/call followed by a check/fold. If he checked behind on the turn perhaps a check/call? As played I think I am beaten by QQ or TT?

By the way, I finished 29th in the tourney, I also finished 29th in the same tourney the night before. Going out on AA < KJ and AQ < AT (would have been at over 1mil chips for the FT ) respectively. Can't wait to run good...

Anyway, what do we think?

Through how many hands is he 17/7/1?

fold pre, as played, c/r flop, as played c/c turn, c/f riv is good u/i.

agree except for the fold pre. Youre getting > 3:1 with Kx sooted.

i prob call most big suited 2-gappers, but K8s oop, you're really just throwing money away unless you're all >100 BBs deep.

I don't like playing this hand oop against a tight player. If he has a big hand we wont get to draw very often, and if we hit a king we could easily be outkicked.

Once you have played it, I like the check raise idea...
