NL10 - KK in 3-bet pot looking at monotone flop

[ispiked]

Just sat down, so no reads on the villain other than that he just won a big pot where he didn't suckout or anything.

Hero checks, CO checks

Turn: ($3.15) 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif (2 Players)
Hero checks, CO checks

<font color="blue">Turn is non-heart, so we're probably still good. I intend on check-calling here if bet to.</font>

River: ($3.15) 2/images/graemlins/heart.gif (2 Players)
Hero checks, <font color="red">CO bets $20.35 and is All-In</font>, Hero folds

<font color="blue">Gah. I know I'm beat here, so I lay it down.</font>


I feel like I misplayed this somewhere, but I'm unsure of which street I should've been betting on.

P.S. This hand was immediately after I'd lost a hand and wasn't able to reload in time. I usually always play with 100BB.

i suggest no one respond to this obvious level.

I think I bet turn, and check/call non heart river.

You pretty much misplayed this on every street but the river

As embarrassing as it may be, this is not a level.

First of all, 4 bet pre flop. Then, bet this flop. Then, bet this turn. By that point, you should be all in so there is no decision on river.

I've started to play KK less aggressively pre-flop due to the fact that no one else I've run into at 10NL seems to like getting it in with less than AA pre-flop.

That said, I'm probably being results oriented which is causing me to lose money with KK.

So, can someone give a few scenarios where I should lay this down?

* If I get my 4-bet shoved, then I can't fold due to the "don't fold KK for 100BB rule".

* If I lead the flop after a 4-bet, I'll be left with around $3-4, which would mean I really can't fold to a raise...

* If there's an Ace on the flop, do I still bet? And again, if my bet is raised all in, am I calling?

To me, it seems like 4-betting pre-flop here makes you pot committed anyway you look at it... but I guess this isn't a bad thing? Is the consensus with KK: get it in and hope for the best?

[Profish2285]

Yes, 4 betting commits you, and thats the point.
