Re: 55$ KK A high board
 

Hmm just wondering what exactly can any pocket pair beat on river after preflop reraise to 270? KJ?lol

About the hand - usual check behind with KK on A high flop, 300 turn bet, and probably check on river after being called.

If you're just wondering, why bet the turn?
You don't really have to worry about getting outdrawn, that's for sure(the only one having more than 2 outs seems to be QJ and some random gutshot, lol).

What'd you do if you get a call on the turn and a bet on the river?

Obviously some random pocket on the river beats only a bluff, but people will tend to think you're bluffing since it went cc cc c bet and just call, giving you some nice extra chips.

Your bluffing with exactly what type of hand after preflop 270 reraise again?

Why bet turn - because we can get a call from a hand we beat now - KQ, QJ, and board becomes drawy too.

There was no reraise pf.
You could bet turn to protect against the Q outs of KQ and the additional J outs of QJ.
But I think it doesn't make that big of a difference, as long as you get a li'l bet in on the river.
Also, board has not gotten really drawy IMO, there's still only gutshots and twoouters that we're ahead of, apart from above mentioned QJ.

Re: 55$ KK A high board
 

Hmm well UTG calls t60 (pot was t90), Hero raises to t270 i called this a reraise but nethermind, as about protection no - no protection here, just betting for value, on the flop no bet is called by worse hand, on the turn there are hands that will-might call which we have beat.

Also double check - he probably didn't call with A to check it twice, happens of course but less likely then smth different.

Looks pretty good to me as long as you know why you did what you did.

I'm kind of struggling with why I bet the turn if I check behind flop. Are you hoping to get called by KQ/QJ/suspicious mid pair?

Mostly, if they don't call flop, they don't call turn, and not much can come on the river to beat us. I think I prefer a WA/WB line, as OP played it.

Yes - i've stated that above. I really think it would be a very specific set of qualities for a player to hit an ace and double check it there so after second check i consider us WA and value bet. After paired Q we don't beat anything again and check/fold mode is fine.

Re: 55$ KK A high board
 

99, TT, JJ are in villains range and far more likely than a Q or an A(given he checked three times), that's why river deserves a fine small valuebet.

I like the way you played it
