Hand #1 - Without a read - lay it down after the flop, you're beat.

Hand #2 - Need a read. Will this guy call 4xbb pf with an 8 in his hand? Will he semi-bluff a flush draw? (if so, play it hard until a spade hits - make him pay)

Hand #3 - No overcards, his bet tells me TPTK. I would think hard about that one and probably call.

When I have KK I isolate to 1 opponent and then play the hand with caution. Look for possible flushes and, of course any A on the board makes me nervous. I just want a loose opponent to call me down on an aceless board. I'm still trying to learn is when to let unimproved Ks & As go.

Now, I've read the results and wow, quad Qs. Tough beat. That's a bad one cause if you had quad Ks you probably wouldn't have gotten any action.
