Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is SB with K, K.
2 folds, MP1 calls, 2 folds, CO raises, 1 fold, Hero 3-bets, 1 fold, MP1 calls, CO caps, Hero calls, MP1 calls.

Flop: (13 SB) 6, 4, 5 (3 players)
Hero bets, MP1 calls, CO raises, Hero 3-bets, MP1 folds, CO caps, Hero calls.

Turn: (11 BB) 4 (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets, Hero calls.

River: (13 BB) 6 (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 15 BB

Not even really sure if this is worth posting, but it's the only one I really remember from last night. Plus I'm thinking I should start posting more hands here. Probably should just take my medicine and move on... but oh well. The cap pf put villain on a very narrow range. Flop cap told me AA, so was the check/call necessary? No worries about straights or flushes either really. Could I have saved money anywhere?

Trust me, its not worth posting.

The hand Played itself and you aren't going to fold. Anywhere else in the world, I put the guy on AA. Since its .5/1, you may be beat but you may not. No way I'm not calling this down.

I need A LOT of information to put him on AA here. No way you're folding and it's difficult to find another raise, although that was a really good turn card for you...

I think you played that right. Your kings with that flop were too good to fold and you cooled the aggression when he capped you on the flop. At the $0.5/$1 tables on Party, I wouldn't put it past them to cap the betting PF with any pair.

This is true for just about any online game...

AK is another hand that might be played this way that you would beat.

Regardless, I play your hand the same way you did here.

I would have bet out on the turn. I either take control there, or call down if he raises again. There are a lot of hands he could have that you beat (and only one reasonable one that you don't), and you certainly don't want him to check behind you.
