Quiz #4, Question 3--Applying Your Hand-Reading Skills

[Matt]

You are under the gun in a six-handed game with K:hearts:K:spades:. You raise and a tight-aggressive player to your left three-bets. The loose-aggressive cutoff caps. Only you and the three-bettor call. The flop comes K:diamonds: A:clubs: 9:spades:. Everyone checks to the cutoff, who bets. You raise, the player to your left calls, and the cutoff folds. The turn is the J:diamonds:. You bet, your opponent raises, you three-bet, and he caps. You call. The River is the 6:spades:. You check and your opponent bets. Based on your read, what do you do?

I would be only worried about AA or JJ. He wouldn't three bet with TQ from that position against an UTG bet...

AK and 99 would be my second guesses. Less inclined about the AK though as we already have 2 of them and 1 more is on the table. but i don't think he would cap the turn with AK anyways.

So its AA, JJ, 99 which one of them has us beat. Its a close call between flat calling and check-raising. Because if he has AA he will cap it most likely and will cost us two extra bets..

oops, I thought I read he is tight aggressive player. Disregard all my of my comments :)

[MJPerry]

Easy raise. In NL I probably shove.

[TJericho]

I raise. I'm slightly worried about AA, but not enough that I'm just going to call.

oops, I thought I read he is tight aggressive player. Disregard all my of my comments :)

I think, according to the description, that he is a tight aggressive. Right? The loose aggressive cutoff folds.

Edit: Now that I think about it more, I'm much more worried about AA than I was before. Primarily because of this:
"You raise and a tight-aggressive player to your left three-bets."

Would a tight aggressive player raise a UTG bet in limit with just 99? I don't think it would happen all that often in NL, but honestly don't know about limit in this case. I wouldn't, but I don't normally play short-handed limit games.
