KK-Ugh (Trod Style) (1/2NL)

[T-Rod]

200NL 6max Prima.

Villain is directly to my left, he's fully stacked, and I'm having trouble with him. I only have a few hundred hands on him, but he loves to bet every street (way above normal), and he hates to fold anystreet. Whew.

Twice I've completed in the blind and he's raised a flop lead. Once I called with TP, and he put out a healthy turn raise. I folded both times.

I have K[h] K[d] OTB. 1 limper ( a CS with a triple stack to my right). I raise to $11. Villain calls in BB, CS calls.

Flop ($34) T[s] 7[c] 4[h]. Villain leads out for $28. I'm getting ready to raise him, but then the CS cold calls.

Pot is 90 when it gets to me and it will be $28 to call.

Plan of action?

Raise to 90.

[Triple B]

Mandatory raise IMO. Jack it up to 90-100.

Push turn if checked to.

If one of them puts you in on the flop or turn then get ready to break something and call. You might find a fold if CS is the aggressor.

There is no "UGH" here yet! The guy who likes to bet has bet, and the guy who likes to call has called. To this point I'm not worried and I raise the flop. I go to the mat against the betting machine, and, well, if the CS wants to come along for the ride he can do that.

man I your analysis.

This hand really threw me for a loop.

I was really worried about the CS having a set, and I didn't think he'd raise if he did. I saw him called down a guy with two pair. Bizarre.

I flat called part out of confusion and part because I didn't know how to raise for pure information ( I think a min raise sounds good but I felt both these guys would have called based on prior hands).

Turn was a brick and the LAG in the BB bet weak again ($30). Now CS folded (thank you very much). I called. I probably should have pushed, but I figured I'd let the LAG bet my hand for me. I wasn't folding.

River was a brick, he open pushed and showed K[s] 9[s] for a three barrell bluff. I scooped and started breathing again.

[quote="T-Rod"]No one here is worried about a set on that flop?[quote]

T-Rod, I respect you, so please don't take this like a wise-a** question, I am really curious...

Why would you put a calling station on a set when he calls?

Thanks, Dave
