Hi,

I tend to go broke with hands like [AK]

Flop KKx,

Is it +EV? My gut feeling says it is ok but what do you guys
think?

Just happened me twice last week villain had [xx]

BTW I got my 2nd royal yesterday won 8 dollars! :P
1st one was 2 years ago.

T.

If I've got AK and the flop falls KKx and my opponent has xx I'm going broke every single time.

Yea, I'll usually go broke. I go broke with trips w/o top kicker enough myself to reason that I'll be ahead of random opponents in this situation often enough (because a whole lot of them suck even worse than I do).

Turska, I always go broke too man. It sucks, but there are def. enough people going broke with weaker trips.

I guess a little Calvin and Hobbes tribute will be ok.


Everyone happy now?
