Too weak-tight with KK?

[scraggs]

whenever you have KK pre you're always on the lookout for the 3-outer, and i certainly was here. i didn't have any stats or reads, on the villain, other than that it was a she and this was party NL25 (ie default read is LP). is this too tight or just right?

Just lead the flop. I always lead flop with KK even when there is an ace on board when I was the agressor preflop. If I get played back at, I play poker then.

so if she calls, just check and shut it down to any further betting?

[Phyreball]

Yep.

You have to look at alot of things here. What is her range to cold call a preflop raise to 5x? And on this board, a bet would have made things really easy. It is so dry you haev to assume she has an ace. I look alot at board texture and try and make a read. But if you lead into a ace board and have a coldcaller preflop, I'd be weary of continuing.

Sometimes people who call preflop raises just have pocket pairs and are trying to hit a set on the flop. Definately make a CB to eliminate those players.

[Haiku]

Make a standard c-bet on this flop for sure.

thanks for the replies everyone. i think i saved myself ~$2.40 here but that's just results-oriented thinking i guess

I'm betting at least $2 here over 95% of the time; dont let assumptions of the worst make you forget about all other hands in someone's range.
