NL50 6-max: KK on a coordinated flop

[cestlavie]

BB is a super-loose and very passive fish. Didn't have many hands on UTG, but he seemed quite laggy to the tone of 40/20.

The villain overbet the pot, leaving about half of his small stack behind, he could well be on a draw or have A8. Can't see him playing a made hand fast into a preflop raiser. Since villain's got about $11 left, I decide to push. There's still BB left to act who is unlikely to have hit this flop.

IMHO Standard play. Expect BB to call and suck out /images/graemlins/wink.gif

you only have $2.5 invested in a hand that doesnt play well multiway on that supercoordinated flop.

my vote is for a fold.

Would he bet half his stack on a draw though?

He could have made a preflop call with AXs or small suited connector, but both are unlikely.

I think you have him here.
