Another questionable KK hand, .10/.20 O8

[Gar Pike]

Me in BB w/ KK78 DS. Table is loose, passive/agressive mix. Villian tends to the agressive side. Stacks are all about the same. ( <u>+</u>20BB)

Lots of limpers, I check

flop is 569 rainbow.

Well, I have the nut str8, but I hate that. My plan for this hand is to check the flop, hope no one bets, try for a check/raise on the turn if it looks like it didn't help anybody or somebody makes a lo and starts betting.

Is that right?

Turn is A, still rainbow. I check, checks around to villian in LP. Bet, fold fold I raise. So far so good

3 callers and villian raises. What does he have, what should I do now?

What I did was, cap.

I have a hard time putting villian on a set of Aces, he would have raised PF. A low and 2 pair is most likely, maybe a low and a set. I think it's not very likely he has a low and the same str8.

either way, there are still 5 of us left at the river.

What's your plan for the river if the last card:

a) is a brick
b) pairs the board

My plan for a) is bet/call. I think that is better than check/call.

My plan for b is check/call if it's 1 bet, check/fold if it's 2 or more bets?
