Hey all,

This occurred in the 35K guarantee a bit ago. This seems to be my pitfall and I was wondering if any of you thought I played if wrong or if "that's poker".

Before I show the hand I will fill you in on the scenario quickly. I've been playing very tight. A little while before the hand I checked my stats and I had seen about 10% of the flops. Also, and even more important, the villain in this hand Just lost a hand where his pp9 got beat by pp4.

The hand:

Full Tilt Poker Game #7650596228: $35,000 Guarantee (57456817), Table 69 - 150/300 Ante 25 - No Limit Hold'em - 21:35:12 ET - 2008/08/14

Seat 2: StevoL_7 folded before the Flop
Seat 3: billwoo folded before the Flop
Seat 4: mjr1983 (button) folded before the Flop
Seat 5: tobermeyersr (small blind) folded before the Flop
Seat 6: 29cardshark (big blind) folded on the Flop
Seat 7: Incision folded before the Flop
Seat 8: Scott Clements folded before the Flop
Seat 9: Sig1561 showed [Kh Kc] and lost with a pair of Kings

Because of the hand before I figured I was getting payed by a tilt call. But the fact that I had been playing pretty tight should have warned me he had AA? I'm not sure.

I guess I'm not necessarily looking for a hand analysis, per se. Rather, I would like analysis in a MTT mindset. My M value was fine and I didn't need to take any real risks. (Little did I know KK would be that risky on a board of rags.)

Anyway, thanks for any help.

Also, whenever I sloplay AA it always fails. A flop of 9/10/J all spades comes out and I peepee my pants and get bet out. Also, do you think he knew I'd do the betting the rest of the hand because of my preflop raise? I can't see a good player smooth calling this early preflop only to realize their opponent will get out of the hand after a bad flop. I guess he just must have known I'd go all the way. It's the only reason I see him letting me do it.

Ugh so rigged wahhhhhhhhh rigged rigged

Just kidding about the riggedness

...kinda

Its almost impossible to get away with that situation.... on the flop u could put him on an overpair... but i mean he couldve had jj or qq and played it the same way... unless u had a dead read on the guy u r defintely losin most of ur chips that hand. The only thing is that u have to re raise preflip with kings in that spot. Big pairs are at there best when ur up against a single opponent. Thats the only real mistake u made even tho ur still going to lose ur chips. By just calling u leave urself open for some person to hit with a bad hand. Either way u just got unlucky that hand...better luck next tournament.

He didn't have an opportunity to re-raise if I'm reading the hand history correctly.

The smooth call on the flop looks a little suspicious as there are not really any draws out there and he would probably want to raise to protect a hand like A10 (or at least find out where he stands). I feel most people would raise JJ, possibly QQ here too. When I was reading through the hand history I expected him to turn over a set.

It is still very hard to get away from. My advice would probably be not to make the fact the other player could be on tilt a major part of your decision making unless you have seen the player tilt previously.

PBS-S is correct, never did I slowplay this hand whatsoever. I bet on every street.

PBS-S I certainly agree that the smooth call PF is suspicious and I would normally (well, maybe) slowdown on the flop to him but I did attribute the smooth call as a tilt call, expecting the very hands you mentioned: A10, JJ, QQ.

I also agree with PBS-S that I shouldn't necessarily think he's on tilt. But poker, especially online poker, doesn't provide you with too much info as to reads and I had to go with my heart. I've made money doing it before and I guess I'll stick with it.

Thanks for the analysis. I guess we'll have to say, "that's poker"

You are losing your chips, no way around it.

Nothing by the way he played screams, "I have AA!".

You could not have asked for a better flop with KK.
