Too weak-tight with KK?

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?

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.

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.
