| I'm fine with it, personally. You'll be beat by some 9 10's, A9's or J10's sometimes, but you'll also be up against a weak-tight non believer with AJ and KJ too. |

| I think this is fine but the river feels a bit awkward to me. Since the stacks are what they are and the 8 hit basically all straight draws in some way I'm inclined to just shove like you did. If the river was a blank and stacks were slightly bigger I think a c/c is way better though. There just aren't very many hands that can call your shove and without an 8 hitting there's a lot more no pair hands that will make a desperation shove if you check. |

| Yes, I believe that your preflop raise was too small. |

well you would be wrong. i agree about c/cing river when he's got a bigger stack. It allows him to bluff all sorts of random floats if he's an idiot and more importantly missed draws. Seems standard given stack sizes. |

Thanks for the replies.
[rigged-rant]I've lost with KK all 5 times I've had it today and 4/5 I got stacked or almost stacked. The last time an Ace flopped. I've never been so happy to see an Ace flop when I had KK. I knew I'd get away cheap and sure enough he raised my c-bet.[/rigged-rant]
This one did seem pretty standard to me but I just wanted to get feedback in case I'm losing my mind. Villain had JJ. |

If I raised more preflop do you think he would have folded JJ? |

So lets see, Riddim says to shove the river, you are clearly looking to at least call any raise (if not reraise), yet you advocate a small raise and giving rubbish plenty of opportunity to hit, big. Sorry but your going to lose big dollars playing like that. |

In this case no, but you would have made him pay more for the possibility of hitting. |

Ummm. Interesting that when stupid people can't find anything constructive to play, they resort to childish flaming as their argument.
Btw, I've included the item below that Donk & HuJwang has taken offense to.

JT doesn't beat him. That gives the villain JJ99 to Rob's KK99.
While it's a fairly outside chance, QcTc is surely in the villain's range here. |
