Not much to say about this one either. I had been playing decently until the last hand. At hand 36 my VP was in the 8 range. However, one more time I hoped my cards are the better when they are not.
Hand 36. I'm UTG w/Kh Qc, 1315 chips, blinds 30/60, 7 players left. I decide to open w/2 BB (120) bet, UTG+1 (big stack w/3870 chips) calls, HJ, CO & BT fold, SB calls & BB folds. Flop 9d 7d Kc. I hit my K, SB checks, I bet 165 into the 420 pot and UTG+1 raises me to 660, SB folds. I think about it for awhile. He could also have a K but with an Ace kicker or a lower kicker than mine as well, I doubt he has KK. He could also be on a diamond flush draw. It seems to me my only choice here is to fold or go all-in. Merely calling wouldn't accomplish anything. I decide to go all-in. I would like to think that could make him fold, but it is less then 400 more chips for him so very unlikely he'll do that. He does call and shows Ah Kd.
The last cards I wanted to see him with. Turn Ad. River Ks. Over and Out.
I think there are two lessons for me here. 1st there was no real good reason for me to open as UTG w/only K Q, folding is the correct choice. 2nd when I bet and get a re-raise of almost 5x my bet and I don't have the top cards in my hand, likely that other person does, & though I don't want to, I really need to fold those hands. A point I keep failing to learn!!
