AK in the BB vs raise

No real read on villain. He's been in a lot of pots, but haven't been doing much raising preflop.

HalvSame bet - $0.85 [I should probably bet more than 1/2 pot here?]
esl2 called - $0.85

[at this point I'm thinking he's either floating w/JJ or QQ, or he's slowplaying TT(or KK, but that's not too likely since there are two other K's in play). AA is also a big possibility, although I would think he'd raise the flop.]

** Dealing the turn: 3 of Clubs
HalvSame ??

From my experience, 8xBB preflop raise at riverbelle is AA or KK. I'd just keep betting half the pot and fold to a raise. Predictable, but there's no need to go broke here. Especially as you say he hasn't done much pre flop raising. He'll most likely call you down if he does have QQ/JJ.

Nice Royal yesterday :wink:

Riverbelle :banana:

why are you playing .05/.10, you should play .10/.20 minimum. I just got through clearing the bonus there and i played 20nl - 100nl... what ever was available.... all the same. I even played 50 hands at 200nl +33.00.:D
I normally play 25nl @ party.

deposited 200.00
cashed out 400.00
left the bonus there to play with!

Im actually on Royal Vegas Poker, but it's Prima allright. On the Royal; this was my second in the past few weeks (one was on the board, but the other guy folded:P) and third this year. I should probably move to a Royal-bonus table I guess.

As for why I play .05/.10, I'm moving from SnG's to Ring, and need to get adjusted. Also I don't have the BR to move up yet. Actually I only play there while I'm waiting for a cashout from pacific (slooooooow) because you get a $10 free for signing up. I think ten bucks is a liiiiittle short for moving to 25NL ;).

As for the hand, I decided to check-call if he bets small. Here's how it went down;

** Dealing the turn: 3 of Clubs
HalvSame checked
esl2 checked

** Dealing the river: Queen of Clubs
HalvSame checked
esl2 bet - $1.80
HalvSame called - $1.80
esl2 shows: Jack of Spades, Ace of Diamonds
HalvSame mucks:
esl2 wins $6.75 from the main pot

Don't know if he would've actually folded to a bet on the turn, but I'm going to do the bet/fold to a raise line next time. I'm not sure about the river call, the only thing I beat now is JJ or maybe AQ trying to buy the pot. It did give me a good read on his raising range, though, letting me reraise him out of some pots from position later on.
