AMRN:
not sure I like this one so much Mark. From a stack of 30bb, I don"t think I like 3betting with a hand as weak as K8o (would actually prefer 78 than K8), given the certain knowledge that the original raiser will call, and we are going to have to cbet 100% of flops (and he probably knows that too).  


With this stack size, I prefer to fold and wait for a better hand that I"m more willing to commit such a large percentage of my stack with.

deanp27:
i"d prefer K8 to 78 for 3betting.

Your choices are to give up or i"d bet slightly smaller (just over 2k), which should do the same job.

This was my concern. Forgot to mention that my image was really really tight at the time.

K8 - blocker and all that. Felt like one of those spots where given my image and the way the action had gone, seems really unlikely that my C bet is a bluff.

The worry with going 1/3 pot as opposed to half pot is I want to make the SB fold hands like 77,88,99,1010. Feels like he is more likely to peel once for the price at 1/3 pot.

dwh103:
Dean"s got it nailed.

SB read dependent, pretty close between fire and give up without additional info.

I don"t really like K8o, but my fold pre % here is nowhere near 100% either, just one of those spots you can take now and again against the right opponents.
