Re: KK smooth call, crai
 

With KK my default would be to get it in pre. Calling is ok sometimes, but you need a good reason such as villain regularly stacks off light postflop, his 3-betting range is very bluffy and he often folds to 4-bets etc. Why did you do it here?

Re: KK smooth call, crai
 

Some reads or stats would be nice. Or at least stack sizes.

In general I don't think your line is bad. Fwiw this seems to be kind of a standard play for many regs.

Re: KK smooth call, crai
 

I 4-bet preflop. Esp since his rr is so small and it's utg vs mp so his hand is probably pretty strong. With 100bb flop is standard as played.

Re: KK smooth call, crai
 

i'm tempted to 4bet PF coz of the small 3bet...flop is fine though

You're hoping to get action from pretty much only QQ here, no?

With the dead money in the pot, i'm almost certain calling with an over and the nut flush is +EV.

Yeah it probably is, but we are still favourite to win the hand.

Re: KK smooth call, crai
 

villain is 20/10 and I recently stacked him so I thought It would be a good time to disguise my hand. I figured a 4 bet folds out most of his range here and I might get a stack off qq jj by sloplaying. Is smooth calling here horrible? Its not somethin I do, ever but I think I might've gotten some action from worse if I sc.
