I woulda made some decent cash on this one...but I laid it down. Nobody at the table believed I threw these away. I am both sickened...and proud I was able to do it.

Your thoughts?

You played that WAY too weak on the flop. You bet $5 into a $75 pot. That screams weakness or draw. With your hand you want to be betting a minimum of half the pot to discourage draws/middle pairs to keep going. Your bet basically said "I'm weak, take this pot away" and thats what he did. You should definately have reraised on flop. If you fear AA every time you have KK you won't make any money with them.

Tad

Believe me when I say that me throwing away KK is absolutely amazing. It's the first time ever. I honestly thought he had AA.

That guy put an awful lot of money into the pot with Ace-Rag.

May have only been a pot size bet, but he moved in and you'd think he might have wanted a caller had he actually had ACES.

Anyways, laying down kings is tough to do, I would have raised pre and got it and post flop trying to drive one of them out before they both went all in.
