    sharemypair hand 37424

    I know I shouldn’t be results oriented, but this really had my tilting.
    Initial raiser was new to table and seemed aggressive. Other guy was not in a lot of hands previously.

    Hey Sean!

    I Looked over the hand and I would first say I think your initial bet would be a little too big. I figure that you are looking to not get called by weak hands but in the long run I think a lot of hands will be folding to that size bet and you won’t get your value for your pocket Kings.

    For the hand, I think its a good fold seeing as there was a lead out from first to act with two players behind. After the 2nd villain raises the board and I don’t have the King of spades in my hand it would be a reluctant fold.

    Hopefully this helps ease the fold!

    I’d go bigger pre-flop. You already have a raise and 3 callers, with $31 in the pot you only bet $35. I’d like to see that above $50, probably closer to $60. Once you get one caller you’re likely to get more, so you have to charge people. KK loses a lot of equity mutli-way.

    As for the fold, I have no idea what to tell you. At a bigger game, this is a pretty easy fold. I don’t really blame seat 9 for calling with the Ks. But the donk bet with 42 makes no sense. All I can say is stay at the table and target that guy. He’s going to be giving money away all night.

    John is right here! I misread and didnt realize there was a raise to 7 and counted it as alimp call

    Thanks guys, that helps. I agree probably should have went to $55 preflop. Table had a lot of tight, older guys trying to hit the bad beat so didn’t really expect more than one caller.
