10nl KK in LP vs limp/3bettor
i'm sure you guys are probably sick of me posting hands like this but it's not an uncommon scenario to have to deal with at the micros, and the fact that i want to post this hand tells me that i have some holes in my thinking process as it relates to these spots.
villain here is 26/9 over 40ish. not many of the regs bother with limp/3betting so most of the people we'll encounter do it will be relatively "unknowns". i'm basically interested in forming a plan here. as best i can see it, there are 3 options based on what we think villain's range is and how he plays it. the options are:
A - flat the 3bet and setmine our KK with great implied odds (implication being villain's range = AA exclusively)
B - 4bet/fold (implication being villain is limp/3betting/calling a 4bet with QQ+,AKs or weaker, and only ever 5bets AA)
C - 4bet/call (implication being that villain limp/3bets/5bets a range of QQ+,AKs or weaker (we have 52% vs this range and thus can 4bet/call for value against it)
note: assume here that in option C "4bet/call" means "4bet/call if he shoves" or "4bet/6bet jam if he 5bets" because once he 5bets, the money's pretty much going in. i mean if he's limp/3bet/5bet/folding at 10nl, he's got some real problems.
anyway here's our hand:
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (8 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com
BB ($20.79)
UTG ($30.45)
UTG+1 ($52.34)
MP1 ($23.15)
MP2 ($29.65)
CO ($19.87)
Hero (Button) ($25.75)
SB ($25)
Preflop: Hero is Button with K , K
UTG calls $0.10, 4 folds, Hero bets $0.60, 2 folds, UTG raises to $1.60,
i guess what i'd like to hear opinions about are:
- are my plans solid based on their assumptions of villain's ranges/tendencies?
- if my plans are solid based on how we think villain plays his range, which plan are we opting for? ie which do we think is most representative of this villain?
- are there any other options i should consider?
thanks
