Default Re: KK hand. 4400 stacks 5-10 6-max..

Seriously, what range are you guys putting a laggy player on to fold this turn?

He can have str8, set, 2pair, AA or bluff. What is really important here is our range, not his. If I called his reraise preflop and then flop bet my range there is : set - 7combos, JJ-QQ-KK 18 combos , AA - 6combos. After his turn pot bet I can happily fold at least 50% of my range without worrying about being bluffed. In actual play I can fold a lot more because : a)most players when they bet big with deep stacks actually have a hand b)most players will bet again on the river (so I can extract more with my stronger hands) c)some players after bluffing the turn will fire again on the river d)most players will pay me off here with other overpair if I have a set.

Summing this all up I can safely fold my lesser overpairs cause I will extract real fortune with my sets here (AA is more problematic hands, cause if we had AA Villain often has KK and he in fact maybe value betting big with that hand). The beauty of this reasoning is that I will gain a lot as long as Villain is loose preflop and plays aggressively postflop with many diffrent hands. I dont really care if he is bluffing or not. If he always bluff that way - fine I will extract sth from him if I have better hand here next time.
