200 NL, KK in a sick spot, 200+ BB deep.
 

I had sat down fairly recently, so I don't have strong reads. Villain already had his big stack when I came to the table, so I don't know how he got it. He seemed kinda loose-passive, but I have not seen him get out of line postflop.

Also, plan for the river?

I think without strong reads, I can be comfy with c/c the turn and river.
WA/WB situation. If he checked the turn, id go ahead and value bet the river. Id even be inclined to call a med. size raise, but not an all in. Id think youll see TT-QQ here alot, and sometimes youll be beat as well.
This is without reads.

since you're OOP and deep you should make a raise that doesn't give him good implied odds and negates the positional disadvantage. Reraising preflop to around $65 is probably best.

Umm LOL?

That just makes him fold nearly everything.

I can agree with making it a little bigger (say $35) but $65... wow, no.

[/ QUOTE ]Does that really matter? Being 200bb deep and against an unknown you're not winning this pot very often postflop and you're not going to be able to put him on a range of hands because he'd call any 2 that you'd reraise with because of the stacks and he has position.

Hey let's turn KK into 32o and win 10 bucks pre-flop! If you just want to take it down pre-flop why do you need KK?

You have to be kidding about not winning at showdown very often.

Yes, it does matter. Raising that much pre is a horrible idea.

So he folds every hand you have beat, knows you have AA/KK, does not incorrectly draw to any sets, and you win 8 bucks?

If there are actually any PRO's to raising to 65 preflop, please tell me what they are.
