AA blind vs. blind
 

villain is relatively unknown - 23/17/2.6 but only over 40-50 hands. seemed pretty normal at the time, this was also the first time he played back at me after calling from the bb against my open.

Find a way to get it in. Either by 3-betting the flop small (hoping he'll push) or calling and crai a blank turn. The only legitimate hand he can have is 33/KQ, this is probably JT or a bluff often, so I probably just call the raise.

totally agree w/ your range. but if I 3bet small and he shoves I really don't like my hand (assuming most people aren't shoving JT there). and if I just call, I feel like I'm gettin value towned when I'm behind and letting him control the pot w/ JT, Kx, or Qx.

maybe call flop, bet/make a decision on the turn?

If we bet the turn we need to be able to fold to a raise, because it's one of the worst way to get the money in.

I like calling and checking to keep him bluffing, besides ime no one ever takes freecards BvB in this situation, I think he'll bet JT on the turn a high percentage.

what's wrong w/ that?

I dunno, checking the turn doesn't feel right to me. and maybe its my personal experience but on K high flops, most people give up their stupid bluffs on the turn once you call the flop.

Didn't say there was anything wrong with that. You said bet/make a decision and I said that decision must be to fold, because if we were taking a line where we aim to get the money in there's better ways.
