    Default 5NL FR - ugly KK hands

    I think I've been playing like shit again, so hit me!

    H1:
    Opp is 17/13/2.0AF over 24 hands.

    His range pre AQ+, 22-QQ

    I think he only raises the flop with 55,33,88 and JJ-QQ?

    I doubt he'd call a 4b with JJ-QQ but we're still (slightly) ahead of this range though, so I thought a call would be adequate.

    The Qh on the turn messes up our equity against this range (only 35%). I checked. Would a b/f have been a better play?

    Not sure what to do facing his half pot bet.

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (8 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    saw flop

    Hero (UTG) ($5.05)
    UTG+1 ($11.78)
    MP1 ($2.80)
    MP2 ($9.71)
    CO ($4.58)
    Button ($4.78)
    SB ($10.05)
    BB ($6.30)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with K, K
    Hero bets $0.20, 2 folds, MP2 calls $0.20, 4 folds

    Flop: ($0.47) 5, 3, 8 (2 players)
    Hero bets $0.35, MP2 raises to $0.80, Hero calls $0.45

    Turn: ($2.07) Q (2 players)
    Hero checks, MP2 bets $1

    H2:
    UTG+1 is 25/5/1AF over 20 hands and MP1 is 71/6/0.3AF over 17 hands.

    I'd say both opps ranges on the flop are similar for calling my pot sized bet:
    99-QQ,AK,77,55,T8s,98s,87s,76s,64s. That's if they call with gutshots.

    If the ranges are correct, this 8s on the turn is a bad card. Check?

    Then pot sized bet from UTG+1. Hero?

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (9 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    saw flop

    Hero (UTG) ($5)
    UTG+1 ($11.78)
    MP1 ($2.80)
    MP2 ($10.65)
    MP3 ($4.58)
    CO ($4.78)
    Button ($10.03)
    SB ($6.25)
    BB ($5)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with K, K
    Hero bets $0.20, UTG+1 calls $0.20, MP1 calls $0.20, 6 folds

    Flop: ($0.67) 9, 7, 5 (3 players)
    Hero bets $0.60, UTG+1 calls $0.60, MP1 calls $0.60

    Turn: ($2.47) 8 (3 players)
    Hero checks, UTG+1 bets $2.20, 1 fold

    H3:
    Opp is 59/12/2.2AF over 34 hands.

    I'd say his cold calling range pre is similar to his raising range:
    QQ-77,A9s+,KTs+,QJs+,JTs,ATo+,KJo+

    He calls the pot sized bet on the flop (assuming he doesn't slowplay sets and two pairs, which would be pretty silly on this board) with all his top pairs less AQ, his flush draws and open ended straight draws.
    JJ,AJs,AcTc,Ac9c,KJs+,KcTc,QTs+,JTs,AJo,KJo+,QJo

    I stoved this and it looks like we are still slightly ahead on the turn, but somehow during play I thought I was behind. So again I checked, and again, I think a b/f would have been better? As played, I don't know how to respond to the $1 bet. Looks like exactly one of those spots described by ISF in his "b/f" thread.
