Would it have been better to C/R the flop? If if so what should I have done on the turn?

C/r the flop. Call the turn. Call the river.

Was betting the flop stupid?


Thanks for the help by the way

Yeah, second kings hand looks good. I agree with 3-betting the flop on the first one and maybe (I'd say probably) leading the turn depending on whether he caps or not. If he caps AND raises the turn, you can slow down or maybe even fold (But probably not, as the pot will be pretty huge by that point), confident he's got aces.

As an aside, I hate Kings the way most people hate Jacks. To me, jacks are actually not that hard to get away from--if an overcard hits the board and I'm being played back at, I can fold my jacks pretty easily. Kings, on the other hand, forces seem to conspire against me to make sure I don't win (Mostly it's my imagination, as Kings are amongst my top-ten winning hands according to PT with my small [3K or so hands] sample, but it always SEEMS like either an ace flops, or I lose to some weird two-pair, or run into pocket aces, or something).

EDIT: Betting that flop is fine.

You want to bet the flop if you think at least a few people will call.

the 88 hand is good.

Make seperate posts.

hand 1 - 3 bet the flop and lead the turn if the button doesn't cap it.

hand 2 - looks fine.

hand 3 - C/R the flop and hope to get everyone trapped for 2 bets. C/C the turn and river.

hand 4 - looks fine.

Raise Pre-Flop...

bad Idea, real bad idea. You're OOP and there are a million bad flops that can happen and at least a three man field you'd have to bet into. DKE, I'd go for a cr on the turn, but betting out is fine too, nh

I see what you mean, my mistake.
