Crown Cash Conundrum

[gmatical]

Ps you cant open with your kings, that was already taken by the bloke who raised infront of you to $6, so your question should be how much to i raise to in this spot with KK.

Not in this case in particular, but if you were dealt KK and had the luxury of opening the pot in MP or EP, what would you make it?

[maccatak11]

In a crown 1/2 cash game I would be making my standard open at least $10.

[krunchie]

i was just about to say $12 bucks,

Whatever the pot button says I should make it.

So bennymacca, JMACK007, madaali, krunchie - what do we do now?

i would be annoyed that i didn't pay attention about the original open, .

There was alot going on in the Poker room, its easy to miss a few things here and there - not to fussed about a little oversight.

If I had raised it to $19-25 oldie may have folded and the short stack shover might have decided that I was def. gonna call and he could not get me off it with a shove and waited for a better spot. I win $9 in this situation, woo hoo.

KK is not really a hand we need to isolate with, bloating the pot with the maximum # of players is a good situation, forcing out fish is not so good.

Anyhow, I figured one of them had the A so I was at best fighting for the side pot drawing to 2 outs, and folded.

It is a fine line between winning the pot and winning a big pot.

so we are sticking with the crown example because what i would 3 bet live is very different to what i would 3 bet on line.

Isn't a good play a good play live or online? What is your reasoning here?

[krunchie]

whats your definition of a good play

sounds like pretty results orientated thinking

my reasoning is that online and live play very differently

so the size of my 3 bet will be very different

this is very much true for the size of my opens as well


im very suprised we havent heard from bennymac on this one, this is more his sort of thing he is better suited to verbalising theorys

I'm sure you are more than capable of writing your own reasons as to why they are different - not just stating that they are different, please elaborate for me )and other readers).

Bennymac may not share the same thoughts as you.

What sounds like results orientated thinking?

[AceLosesKing]

I'd like to place bet of $500 on benny the cunt thinking the same as Krunchie please. 1.10-1? Aww.

while you have comments like this to say im not going to waste my time geting into long discusions on quite high level topics

you might miss a few things

[madali]

Ok my thinking may be a little warped here but even with a big hand like kings I want as few players in the pot as possible. The more players in the pot the less chance I have of winning. Sure I want a caller and I know that by pricing other players into the pot you will increase the pot size but your risk also increases. I would much rather be able to isolate the players and therefore be able to narrow the range of hands that have called. Maybe I am being extremely nitty but I like to reduce my risk as much as possible.
