Put him on 2 different high cards (ie 2 cards above an 8) or low pockets, then a possible straight or flush draw on the turn. Either way I knew I was ahead and wanted to cash in on the flop and push him off on the turn. Was really hard to put him on anything as I just got moved to the table, but was pretty sure he didn't have the 10 and that was really the only hand that was ahead of me at that stage

What you would do and the advice you offer can sometimes be two very different things.

LOL.

Hence why I am stepping away from poker for awhile, too many snap call, brain fart moments recently. So I am spending my bankroll buying percentages of players in events.

If anyone is looking for staking in anything let me know and we will see if we can come up with some terms.

Care to stake me in the next WSOP Main Event ? :D
Pardon me, but I think you'll find that's a shovel. See you next Tuesday!

I'm interested to know how others would have played this hand, whether you'd value bet or try and push them off on the flop/turn/river.

I've just been moved to a new table, Blinds are 100/200.
I have 4.6k and look down at KK. I raise to 600 from 2nd to act, 1 caller with ~7k stack.

Flop
I bet 600, he calls

Turn
I push all-in for 3.4k as I don't put him on a 10 and want this pot here and now, he counts chips to see how much he would have left, and then calls straight away
What do you put him on?

Some players will not fold their hand to any bet (especially if they have lots of chips) so why bet into them not knowing what the cards on the flop will be?
Every player is different.
With your hand of KK you would play it differently depending on position and who you are playing against and your table image, I don't believe there is solely one correct move, as there more things to take into account around you than just your hand in tournament poker.
(Sorry I did not see his hand, as the pictures did not load, what was it? I’m guessing it won.)

There is never a solely correct move.

Just whatever get's you maximum value in a +EV situation, that is the ultimate objective.

Agree, there are plenty of factors to consider when playing a hand (I listed as many as practical). If I had been at the table longer, I would have been able to get a better read on the player's style and maybe played the hand differently. Although I'm not sure I would have played this hand much differently, perhaps a bigger C bet on flop, and smaller bet on the turn.

he rolls [Ax] [9x] (no flush draw)
river [9x] to give him a full house 9s over 10s, and I'm on my way

Hmmm, do I remember correctly that David implemented the ability to use "9x" and Ax"? Cause that's what isn't working at the moment
