This hand is for @cupcake as well as others. I elect to defend Ks9h in the big. Poor choice normally. UTG opens are high card heavy and she isnt opening K8 most likely. I like pairs and suited combos here better. I did it so lets go to the flop of 9c 6s 3s. Top pair 2nd kicker for me. Not bad.
I check. She can have TT-AA. I cannot(no 3bet). No need to blow up the pot.
She cbets. Im not folding or raising. I call.
Turn is a Kc.
Nice card for me. I likely have the best hand. She may have a K and its a good card to bluff. I check to let her do her thing like cupcake maybe?)
Unsurprisingly, she barrels. Yes! Gigs up. Time to go for value. I check/raise 3x. Hope she has AA.
Whoa! She 3bets my raise. That 3bet is great info for later.
Now cupcake some might see this as an easy shove. Not me.
I now think she has a made hand, AA-AK-66 or small chance of 99 or KK. I am not folding but if I jam she may fold a 1 pair hand or bluff. I want to keep her range wide as possible not force her to fold or have a great hand. See?
I call.
Ooohh! Not my choice for a river. The flush gets there 2s.
If she does have it, i dont want to jam. Check/check is fine with me. If she doesnt have it, i dont want to jam to make her think i have it and fold. I elect to check.
OMG She jams! Big pot. Decision time. Love this pressure.
Hmmm does she have the flush? I have Ks which blocks AKs & any other Ks combo. Great blocker to have. AQs makes sense but not really after the reraise. Lets see 66? Possible but I am more likely to have that. Oh 54s hmmm? That makes sense. Unlikely in her utg opening range. Not believing the flush thing at all. I had her on a high card pair and still believe it.
Please dont have a set.( I call.
Huh? She had what?

    Get out of TOWN! KQ OS! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA! Warlock has announced that I broke the bots through my aggro play. They have gone degen. I don't know Jenny Lee yet but I am always game for some exploratory PUNISHMENT. As soon as we get a Cash Table here you are going to have to play at least one round of "Button Baller" with me.

    "I now think she has a made hand, AA-AK-66 or small chance of 99 or KK. I am not folding but if I jam she may fold a 1 pair hand or bluff.

So many times I could have squeezed more chips out of my Bot victim if I had had utilized some checking finesse and lighter bet sizing.

    Priceless,

    Oh wow. WTF is that re-raise by bot on the turn? That's actually a fold or a shove, never a raise with the stack she had left. Really bad play by the bot. I think its clear that @cupcake destroyed the program. I can't believe the size of this pot on 1 lousy pair. Where oh where are these types of players when I'm in a cash game?

    Wide defend but otherwise a really solid hand. I may have simply shipped her re-raise because she has less than half-pot left anyway. I'd want to be sure I got it all and she can't fold anything other than total air if you ship. Any pair or spades or clubs she has to call, in theory anyway. The bots do some weird stuff so maybe she finds a fold there somehow? You'd know better than me but vs a human I ship it.
