    I've just started playing cash, and over a very small sample, I'm losing, and it's really based on how 2 hands transpired. So, looking to see if I'm playing these right. Don't have the hand histories, so I'll give pertinent information.

    UTG villian limps, mp,sb limp, I check with 10-7 off from bb.

    Flop K-10-7 2 hearts. $1 in pot, I bet $1, villian raises to 3 others fold. (effective stacks are $25 at start of hand).

    What should I do here. Villian I've seen maybe 50 hands with, haven't seen him show down anything too wild, but he's whiney. One of these "I know how to play, and that's tight, etc etc etc". I have a 7 and a 10 that really limits sets with those, and I think he's raising KK pre. I think he could have a pair kings and a flush draw. Could also have a KQ type hand, but not sure. What should I do here?

    Even tight players are going to raise KQ/KJ and naked flush draws here. Certainly no reason to fold, IMO. I'm not the best NLHE cash game player, but I don't see anything wrong with check-calling the turn and river.

    when I used to 9 table 25NL and be a rakeback whore on UB, I'd 3bet jam these kind of hands all day. most players at 25NL cant get away with TPBK here or TP and a FD. If he has a better 2 pair or KK then oh wells, reload.

    Thanks shyguy. He actually did have KK there, then took his money and ran. I did reload, but was wondering if that was a good play. I didn't like calling, since I didn't see me improving, and way too many cards on the turn I wouldn't like. Thanks

    I just haven't seen enough people at that level not raise pre-flop with KK to even consider that a reason for folding. Sucks he had it but folding in that situation a hundred times loses you money IMO

    You def don't want to fold, either reraise or call. I think he has enough Kx to call your reraise to make that fine.
