KK monotone board

Standard 4-8 table.

4 limps to hero OTB who raises black kings. 6 players to the flop.

Flop 9c 6c 3c. Lag BB donks, 2 calls, passive lady to my right raises.

Hero???

Call. Man I wish my local had more of this.


Agree with call. A passive lady should only raise here with 2p+ which we’re not doing well against. Only reason I see to three bet is to try to isolate her, but since we have to beat her anyway and the Ac will call no matter what, we don’t really get anything from isolating her.


Agree with call, had I not had the Kc I would have folded due to passive lady.

For whatever reason at game speed I 3 bet figuring the odds were in my favor the Ac was not out there. Got 3 callers.

Turn Kd! BB donks again, two callers. Hero???


BB is acting like he has Axc and went for overcalls after your flop 3! If you raise now he he wants to 3! to charge any lower sets or droolers. Hard to count outs with any confidence.

In realtime I probably just call. There is a rare OESF draw that might be donking hoping to hit, I have seen that. Was there a HH promo?

After 3betting flop and getting donked into again by a lag who did not 4bet flop, I’m wanting to get to showdown unimproved, or raising the river if I hit, so I would call.

I think raising overreps our hand and we’d have to have significant reads to think we have the best hand here enough of the time to raise for value and not get 3bet.


Three betting the flop probably won’t get you a free turn card and you’re probably beat on the flop. I’d call the turn and hope the board pairs on the river.


Actually took about 30 seconds on this decision and decided to raise knowing it couldn't be terrible against 3 opponents.

Worst case scenario I'm up against flush, flush, Ac and it turns out I'm exactly 25% against that. Against flush, flush, set I'm 27.5%. Against flush, flush, open ended straight I'm 35%.

River was a brick and was checked to me. Finally slowed down and checked. BB flopped tiny flush, lady flopped some silly jack high flush, other player had the Ac. In retrospect no real surprise.

Obviously some spew on the flop.
