Playing $1/$3 cash after a tourney bust yesterday, sat with $400, run up to $625 in an hour and the. Face this hand.
Hero (yeah me) sitting in the SB, folds to the HJ who limps $3, Villain on the Button raises to $10. Context, our local room rarely goes to a flop that small, and most hands have at least an open to $18 to $25, so I try and go gentle for a caller. I look down at K9HH, click to $20, HJ folds, button flat calls.
Flop 678HHH
I'm fine with winning in 3, it's been a fun day of being friendly so I put out $65 in the SB. Button (total stack behind is $287), thinks for a minute and raises to $145. So here I'm sitting with the second nut flush and the up and down straight flush redraw. I know where this is going.
I think, ok he has exactly AXH or....
Any two hearts
A of Hearts plus a pair
Set
Two pair flopped (given how connected the flop is)
Made straight
Up and down straight draw and top pair
Broadway pocket pair
Anyway you slice it, it sure looks like he's the guy that wants to win on the flop now. Flat calling is out of I think he has a redraw himself, folding seems insane (I'm looking at 7ish possibilities he is behind me and exactly one where I am.)
So I call all in. He snap calls.
I show the K9HH for the second nut flush and the up/down straight flush draw.
Villian turns up A10HH for the nut flush and turns my up and down redraw into a one outter for the 5 of hearts. Board runs out Q of clubs, 5 of ....diamonds. ouch.
Does anyone get away here or is that always a loss? I'm a guy that's folded pocket kings pre, knowing a guy had Aces, I'm very tight and aggressive for most of my play.. I just don't see a different way of playing that one.
Anyone?
