Re: KK hand. 4400 stacks 5-10 6-max..
Tough hand to play.
If this guy will fire 3 barrels, call the turn and insta-call the river (no reason to raise turn).
If this guy will fire 2 barrels and shut down on the river, shove the turn and hope he makes a crying call with a lower PP.
When he bets the turn, if you're not looking to bust him with KK here then you should fold. Calling to hope he shuts down on the river is horrible. The only reason to smooth call is for him to put more money in on the river for you the times you are ahead. So if you think you are behind on the turn, then fold.
The queen is an irrelevant card, unless of course he has QQ! 99-JJ will still bet this river if the player is at all aggro. With all this said, I agree with Strassa that you are only beating a bluff/semi-bluff (99-JJ) here. What is this guy's reraising range? Use that information to make your turn decision. Tough hand to be so deep, but I probably call the river and use that info the times I lose to get the money back from him later. Curious to see what he had.
