$100 NL at Bodog. Overall the game is looser, but these guys don't like making big calls as much as the PokerStars armchair pros. Hand is from memory, so the details are fuzzy.

I've been playing very aggro for this game and can't miss a set. But no one is paying me off , so I only have like $150.

UTG limps, a couple other idiots follow.

I have K K and make it $4 flat on the button.
Blinds fold, UTG and one other limper calls.

~$12 in the pot, 3 to the frop.

J 8 4

Checked to me and I pot it. UTG calls, the other lemming folds.

~$36 in the pot, heads-up to the turn.

A

UTG pushes for $40

UTG is a loose player and could have a wide range here. Certainly playing around 1/3 of his hands.

He could have Ace anything and probably has AJ since he called your river pot bet. Or maybe JJ.

Agreed. He hit his second pair AJ or he thinks he can get action on his trips now with the A. Either way, even a pair of Aces is beating you. Unfortunately it is a fold.
Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

I'm saying AJ here...Although at the site you're playing, who knows sometimes? Or, he could possibly have Ax of hearts, which puts you far behind too.

I'm folding this and picking a better spot, unless you've got some ridiculous read that this guy is full of poop.

Yeah I was going to say, it seems kind of odd that if you've hit two pair you immediately go all-in, especially with a scare card like an Ace coming out. If I hit two pair I'd lead out with a strong bet or something, but not all-in like that. It really does reek of a bluff.

He is repping a better hand so its up to you if you believe him or not, I might make the call here if I know the opponent will make moves like this but the default play for me here is to fold since the turn could easily have hit Axs which is a likely holding for the opponent. You are only getting 2:1 on your money so you have to be correct 33% of the time. Then again its Bodog
